The latter retains R\u2019 Ulman\u2019s comments and insights (as well as his invaluable essay on Ramchal\u2019s Kabbalistic system), and it includes a number of other prayers written by Ramchal (hence the change of title), a voluminous index, and R\u2019 Shriki\u2019s own insights.<\/p>\n<p>The line &#8212; known as the <em>Kav<\/em> &#8212; is seen there as being the symbol of the great hope (as in the correlative term <em>Tikveh<\/em>) of the Jewish Nation for its redemption. In fact, each of the 515 original prayers ends with the verse, <em>Lishuatcha<\/em> <em>Kiviti\u00a0<\/em>&#8212; \u201cI hope for Your salvation, God\u201d (Genesis 49:18). It speaks to the ultimate role that the dynamic of the line will play in that redemption and in the ultimate revelation of God\u2019s sovereignty, which is its goal.<\/p>\n<p>(c) 2011 Rabbi Yaakov Feldman<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to contact me at <a href=\"mailto:feldman@torah.org\">feldman@torah.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>AT LONG LAST!
