Sefer Yetzira (Book of Creation)
Reish represents authority. A true leader can make peace, which is the middle path, the compromise between extremes. Reish is similar to the letter Dalet, both of which signify poverty, but Dalet is the poverty of humility as indicated by the point on its upper right side. The rectification of Reish like the Koof is through humility. When Reish is rectified, it becomes the vessel of peace, which is the vessel with which to receive all good.
One who's name begins with the letter Raish has an active inclination and is attracted to business. They think twice before acting but sometimes feel hurried. Although cautious, this never deters them from their love to try new things. (Shemot Bnei Adam)
