Kabbalah4All Transliteration Guidelines

Please note that transliteration guidelines are different according to each culture and also withineach movement of Judaism. We have developed these guidelines for use with our transliterateddocuments. They may or may not apply to transliterations put out by other movements includingthe various organizations teaching Kabbalah.

a as in father

ai as in aisle

e as in red

ei as in eight

i as in pizza

o as in no

oy as in toy

u as in tune

ch as in Bach in German (strong sound from the throat)

g as in give

tz as in lots

’ typically adds an “EH” sound after a consonant, this is known as a Shva Na or pronouncedShva as in the word “Sh’ma”.

- a dash is simply used to aid in pronounciation, usually if two like vowels follow each other,as in the word “da-at.”

In Hebrew, the accent generally falls on the last syllable, however it sometimes falls somewhereelse in the word. In our transliteration, when the syllable falls somewhere else other than the lastsyllable, that stressed syllable will be underlined. Example: Melech.

Hebrew Rules

The following are some of the Hebrew rules you may notice in our siddurim (connection books).

Kj¤l«¤n In Hebrew, the accent generally falls on the last syllable, however it sometimes fallssomewhere else in the word. Whenever a syllable other than the last is accented, a“meteg” (the vertical line under the first letter) will appear.

lÇk The “masoret” above the letter Chaf indicates that this is a Kamatz Katan, which ispronounced as “o”; in this example the word is “kol.”

Egœ§n §U ¦i The “rafe” above a letter indicates it is a Shva Na. This example is pronouncedyism’chu.Note that the rafe does not appear above the first letter of a word that has a Shvaas that is ALWAYS a Shva Na.

MINCHAH FOR YOM KIPPUR xetik meil dgpn

rvpyk ,vyl hxnmMINCHAH FOR YOM KIPPUR

The word "Minchah" comes from the word "m’nuchah" which means "quietness/rest." Wemake our Minchah Connection late in the afternoon because during this time of the dayjudgement reaches its highest peak. All of the negativity we have caused is reflected backto us during times of judgement. In addition, Divine mercy is available to us in the lateafternoon, but we must choose to connect to this energy. This time is also the climax ofYom Kippur and Hashem receives our prayers with favor, and Himself yearns for the FinalRedemption when all of humanity will live in peace and harmony with one another.

xkb anaANA B’CHOACH

Considered by the Kabbalists to be the most powerful and mystical prayer of all; thissequence of Hebrew letters is known as the 42-Letter Name of the Creator. When wepray and meditate on this prayer, we are connecting in a very powerful way to the originalforce of creation and drawing healing energy and protection into our lives.

hrvth tayrqREADING OF THE TORAH

The Torah is described as the Tree of Life, but only to those who hold onto it. It is notenough to look at it, we must embrace it. Kabbalah is not about blind faith but aboutaction, the Creator’s love is expressed through deed, not through emotion or belief. Themore we study Torah, the more we are able to see the face of the Creator and the morewe are able to get the most out of life.

This blessing is taken from the Zohar, through it we are able to draw down aspects of theoriginal Light through the reading of the Torah. Shimon Bar Yochai said, “When wetake out the Torah in public to read, all the gates of mercy in heaven are open, and weawaken a love from above.”

And the land is defiled;therefore I do punish its iniquity upon it, and the land itself vomits out her inhabitants.26. You shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any ofthese abominations; nor any of your own nation, nor any stranger who sojourns amongyou; 27. For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were beforeyou, and the land is defiled; 28. That the land should not vomit you out also, when youdefile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. 29. For whoever shallcommit any of these abominations, the souls who commit them shall be cut off fromamong their people. 30. Therefore shall you keep my ordinance, that you commit not anyone of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that you defilenot yourselves in it; I am Hashem your Elohim.

:d«Aa ©x dn ¥d §aEe Fe ½l Ÿn §Uy ¦l1. And the word of Hashem came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2. Arise, go toNineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness has come up before me.3. But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of Hashem, and went down toJaffa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare for it, and went downinto it, to go with them to Tarshish away from the presence of Hashem. 4. But Hashemsent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that theship seemed likely to break up. 5. Then the sailors were afraid, and cried each one to hisown god, and they threw the wares that were in the ship to the sea, to lighten it for them.But Jonah had gone down into the interior of the ship; and had lain down, and was fastasleep. 6. So the ship’s captain came to him, and said to him, What do you mean, Osleeper? Arise! Call upon your Elohim! Perhaps Elohim will give a thought to us, that wedo not perish. 7. And they said to one another, Come, and let us cast lots, that we mayknow for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.8. Then they said to him, Tell us, we beg you, for whose cause is this evil upon us? Whatis your occupation? Where do you come from? What is your country? And of what peopleare you? 9. And he said to them, I am a Hebrew; and I fear Hashem, the Elohim ofheaven, who has made the sea and the dry land. 10. Then the men were very afraid, andsaid to him, Why have you done this? For the men knew that he had fled from thepresence of Hashem, because he had told them. 11. Then they said to him, What shall wedo to you, that the sea may calm down for us? For the sea grew more and moretempestuous. 12. And he said to them, Take me up, and throw me into the sea; then thesea will calm down for you; for I know it is because of me that this great tempest is uponyou. 13. Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it back to land; but they could not;for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them. 14. And they cried toHashem, and said, We pray you, O Hashem, we pray you, let us not perish for this man’slife, and lay not upon us innocent blood; for you, O Hashem, have done as it pleased you.15. So they took Jonah up, and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased from itsraging. 16. Then the men feared Hashem exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to Hashem,and made vows.

Chapter 21. And Hashem appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly ofthe fish three days and three nights. 2. Then Jonah prayed to Hashem his Elohim fromthe belly of the fish, 3. And said, I cried to Hashem out of my distress, and he heard me;from the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice. 4. For you cast me into the deep,in the heart of the seas; and the floods surrounded me; all your billows and your wavespassed over me. 5. Then I said, I am cast out from your presence; yet I will look againtoward your holy temple. 6. The waters surrounded me, even to the soul; the depthclosed around me, the weeds were wrapped around my head. 7. I went down to thebottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars closed on me for ever; yet have youbrought up my life from the pit, O Hashem my Elohim. 8. When my soul fainted inside meI remembered Hashem; and my prayer came to you, to your holy temple. 9. Those whopay regard to lying vanities forsake their loyalty. 10. But I will sacrifice to you with thevoice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Hashem.11. And Hashem spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

Chapter 31. And the word of Hashem came to Jonah the second time, saying: Arise! 2. Go to

17


Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I bid you. 3. And Jonaharose, and went to Nineveh, according to the word of Hashem. And Nineveh was anexceedingly great city, three days’ journey in extent. 4. And Jonah began to go into thecity, going a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Another forty days, and Nineveh shallbe overthrown. 5. And the people of Nineveh believed Elohim, and proclaimed a fast, andput on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them. 6. And word came tothe king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he took off his robe, and coveredhimself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7. And he caused it to be proclaimed andpublished through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying: Neither man,beast, herd or flock should taste anything! They should not feed nor drink water! 8. Andlet man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to Elohim; let them turneveryone from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. 9. Who can tell ifElohim may yet turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, so that we perishnot? 10. And Elohim saw their doings, that they turned from their evil way; and Elohimrepented of the evil, which he had said that he would do to them; and he did not do it.

Chapter 41. And this displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. 2. And he prayed toHashem, and said, I pray you, O Hashem, is this not what I said when I was still in mycountry? Therefore I hastened to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a graciousElohim, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and that you repent of theevil. 3. Therefore now, O Hashem, take, I pray you, my life from me; for it is better forme to die than to live. 4. Then says Hashem, Do you do well to be so angry? 5. AndJonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there he made himselfa booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he should see what would become of the city.6. And Hashem Elohim appointed a castor oil plant, and made it grow over Jonah, that itmight be a shadow over his head, to save him from his distress. And Jonah wasexceedingly glad of the plant. 7. And, when dawn came up the next day, Elohimappointed a worm, and it attacked the plant so that it withered. 8. And it came to pass,when the sun rose, that Elohim appointed a hot east wind; and the sun beat down uponthe head of Jonah, so that he fainted, and wished to die, and said, It is better for me todie than to live. 9. And Elohim said to Jonah: Do you do well to be so angry for the plant?And he said: I do well to be so angry, even to death. 10. Then Hashem said, You hadconcern for the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow; which cameup in a night, and perished in a night; 11. And should I not spare Nineveh, that greatcity, where there are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannotdiscern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

hdymiTHE AMIDAH

Amidah comes from the word “Amad” which literally means “to stand” and is thereforeknown as the Standing Prayer. It connects us to Atzilut, the world of Ein Sof. It is alsoconnects us to the Creator’s Light both as individuals and as a community in a powerfuland intimate way. Through the opening verse we ask the Creator to speak through us so that our prayersare coming from our higher selves rather than from our ego selves. The first threeblessings pay homage to the Creator, the middle blessings consist of the sanctification ofthe day, and the final three blessings express our gratitude. Through the closing prayers,we ask that we be kept in a state of spiritual awareness and we reiterate that all of thewords we have uttered have come from the heart. The Amidah is complete as we sendpeace out to the community and to the entire world.

Everyone says the words of each blessing in a soft tone at the same time the Chazzan is chanting them.At the end of each blessing Everyone reponds with o ¥n ¨ “Amein”.

The entire Amidah should be said without interruption, therefore the prefaces to the prayers are not read aloud during this section.

We take three steps backward that represent withdrawing our attention from the physical world.

With complete concentration, we take three steps forward which signify stepping into the land of Israel, into the city of Jerusalem, and into the Kadosh Hakadashim (the Holy of Holies).

We find 21 of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet encoded in this Psalm of David. Thefirst letter of each word of each verse is the alphabet in its order. Nun was intentionallyleft out by King David because it has the same numeric value as the Hebrew word forfalling, which would indicate a spiritual falling.

hdymiTHE AMIDAH

Amidah comes from the word “Amad” which literally means “to stand” and is thereforeknown as the Standing Prayer. It connects us to Atzilut, the world of Ein Sof. It is alsoconnects us to the Creator’s Light both as individuals and as a community in a powerfuland intimate way. Through the opening verse we ask the Creator to speak through us so that our prayersare coming from our higher selves rather than from our ego selves. The first threeblessings pay homage to the Creator, the middle blessings consist of the sanctification ofthe day, and the final three blessings express our gratitude. Through the closing prayers,we ask that we be kept in a state of spiritual awareness and we reiterate that all of thewords we have uttered have come from the heart. The Amidah is complete as we sendpeace out to the community and to the entire world.

Everyone says the words of each blessing in a soft tone at the same time the Chazzan is chanting them.At the end of each blessing Everyone reponds with o ¥n ¨ “Amein”.

The entire Amidah should be said without interruption, therefore the prefaces to the prayers are not read aloud during this section.

We take three steps backward that represent withdrawing our attention from the physical world.

With complete concentration, we take three steps forward which signify stepping into the land of Israel, into the city of Jerusalem, and into the Kadosh Hakadashim (the Holy of Holies).

imsTHE SH’MA

The enlarged letters, ayin and dalet, combine to form the Hebrew word “eid” which means“witness”. We bear witness to the Oneness of the Creator and all of creation. Likewise,we must also be aware that all of our actions are witnessed by the Creator. During theyear, we usually whisper the second line. Kabbalah teaches that this is because malchut,our physical world, is elevating to the Upper Worlds and is subject to negative forces. Atthe end of Neilah, however, we are now in a place that is unaccessible to those negativeforces and we are able to now say the second verse with a loud voice.

Chazzan and Everyone, aloud and in unison:

Rabbi Yochanan taught that one who blesses the new moon is regarded like one who greetsthe Sh’chinah. We recognize Hashem’s existence through miracles, revelations, and throughthe cycles of nature. The moon’s cycles are most apparent and we as Yisrael are likened tothe moon, for at times we have suffered at the hands of others and our light has been dim likethe new moon and at other times we have shone brightly and gloriously like the full moon.The Torah commands us to sanctify the new moon and when we greet the moon, we greet itsCreator and Guide.

HAVDALAH dlcad

hldbhHAVDALAH INSTRUCTIONS

If you don’t have a Havdalah set, you can make your own. You will need a tray, a cupof wine, a dish with a mixture of ground spices (cloves, cinnamon, allspice, andnutmeg), and a candle with two or more wicks. (Havdalah candles usually have sixbraided wicks which represent the six days of the week). You can always light twomatches and hold them together as well. The blessing is recited over the wine,however we do not drink the wine until the Havdalah blessings near the end.

ABOUT HAVDALAH

The word “Havdalah” means “distinction”. The entire connection is to distinguish betweenthe Shabbat (the Festival) to which he have connected and the week that we are about toenter, both as an existence in time and as a feeling of existence. The greatest tool wehave for appreciating anything is the ability to distinguish and differentiate. When we seethings as rare and unique, they stand out as special, and somehow have their own placein the world. When Shabbat (the Festival) is over, we mark the ending with Havdalah andrecognize the beginning of a new week (new period of spiritual transformation).

The cup is filled with wine until it overflows a little on the tray, the V’samim (spice box) is uncovered, the candle is lit and given to someone, other than the Chazzan, to hold or it is placed in it’s stand.

hnhHINEIH

At the words Kos y’shu-ot esa `V ¤ zFrEW §i qFM, we lift our cups of wine without tasting and proceed directly to the blessing over the wine.

Hineh El y’shu-ati,Behold, the Almighty One is my salvation,

evtach v’lo efchad,I shall trust and not be afraid,

ki ozi v’zimrat Yah Adonai, for my strength and my song is Yah Adonai,
