Sefer Yetzira (Book of Creation)
The Chaf is shaped like a vessel, a spoon, a cup, or bowl turned on its side. This embodies its nature of receiving. It is turned on its side because once it receives, it must then give life. Like a mother receives sustenance through food and then gives sustenance to her child from her body.
The letter Chaf symbolizes the quiet type, often mysterious and eager to fit in. They will be successful once they accept the ever-changing world as it is and implement the appropriate changes personally. They are stable and proud to stand on their own ground, often feeling ownership in the world. (Shemot Bnei Adam)
