Koof

This week we learned the letter Koof.

Koof has a big curve and a big line that comes down.
Koof looks like Kiddush pouring down.

Here are other Hebrew words we learned that begin with a Koof:
"Cafe"

Friends in our class enjoyed painting with, smelling and tasting "cafe."

Kodesh

Kodesh, means holy or special for Hashem. Some examples of things that are Kodesh are Torahs, siddurim (prayer books,) a Tallis (prayer shawl,) the land of Israel and you! Every single person is Kadosh because they have a neshama, a piece of Hashem inside of them.  Additionally, when a person does a mitzvah they become more "Kadosh."
We treat things that are Kadosh with respect. We do not put "kodesh" things on the floor. We also can show respect by kissing things that are Kodesh. This is why some people kiss Torahs, siddurim and tzitzis.
