"K'ruvim hugging each other represents G-d Who loves am hanivhar. According to Talmudic tradition, when B'nei Isra'el does not properly observe Torah, k'ruvim do not even face each other. Nonetheless, at the time of destruction due to gossip, k'ruvim still hug each other and B'nei Isra'el will remain am hanivhar forever."
The Hebrew plural for cherubs or cherubim, k'ruvim is cognate with hybrid winged-carabao whose ability to multitask, defend, and ad@pt swiftly to agricultural phenomenon with kaleidoscopic vision is a Marvel: "He stationed from kedem of Gan'Eden k'ruvim and the blade of the revolving sword, to guard the way to Etc Haim" {Beretshit 3:24}. The leader's name of k'ruvim is K'ruvi'el.
"Maimonides says (Guide for the Perplexed III:45) k'ruvim are placed in the sanctuary only to preserve among the people the belief in malakhim, there being a dynamic pair in order that the people may not be led to worship this or that as god incarnate."
"Sages reveal the imaginative faculty is also called malakh; and the mind is called k'ruv. How beautiful this will appear to the sophisticated mind — and how disturbing to the primitive" ~ {Maimonides}
"A midrash states that when Paro pursued Yisra'el at the Reed Sea, G~d commissioned a k'ruv from the wheels of His throne [since judgment is a masculine characteristic] and flew to the spot, for G~d inspects shamayim universes while sitting on a k'ruv. It is G~d that maneuvers the chariot, not the k'ruv (Midr. Teh. xviii. 15; Canticles Rabbah i. 9).
"When a (wo)man sleeps, the body tells to neshamah [soul] what it has done during the day; neshamah then reports to nefesh {spirit}, nefesh to malakh, malakh to k'ruv, and k'ruv to sarap, who then brings it before G~d" (Leviticus Rabbah xxii.; Eccl. Rabbah x. 20).
The Hebrew plural for Seraphim [or the flawed English of Sheriffs], Serafim is cognate with sarap: Tagalog for "tasty." K'ruvim report to Serafim. Seems simple enough, but unpleasant if the information necessitates a Tigress response, occasionally. Serafim have 6 wings, while K'ruvim have just 4. Serafim are also fiery, to say the very least, when provoked.
