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.

,ydy tlyunWASHING OF THE HANDS

Our hands attract all sorts of energies, including negative energy. Water has the qualities ofChesed and purification. The word “natal” literally means “to lift.” By washing our handsbefore we engage in any connection or meditation, we are cleansing them and raising themfrom their mundane tasks to sacred service.

We recite the blessing and then we wash the hands by picking up the pitcher with the left hand and pouringthe water over the right hand, then with the right hand pour the water over the left. This procedure is donethree times.

Eloheinu melech ha-olam,Elohim, Sovereign of the universe.

rxsh tvkrbBIRCHOT HASHACHAR - THE MORNING BLESSINGS

We begin our Morning connection in the world of Assiyah. In this realm we are furthest fromthe Creator’s Light and it is easy for us to take things for granted. The word “sechvi” of thefirst blessing has two meanings, heart and rooster. “The rooster crows, but a person’s heartreacts and understands how to deal with new situations” (Rosh). Through the MorningBlessings, we instill within ourselves appreciation for all of the blessings in our life.

The Chazzan recites the following blessings and the Group responds to o ¥n ¨ Amein to each blessing.Men say the word before / Women say the word after.



asher natan lasechvi vinahWho has given the rooster understanding

Hillel said that all of Torah is summed up as “Love your neighbor as yourself, all the rest ismere commentary, now go and learn.” We are called to care about others and to share.These blessings assists us in connecting to the energy of the Torah so that we share theLight of the Creator with others. We must perform a mitzvah after a blessing is said,therefore the verses that follow are from both the Written and Oral Torah.

,lvi ]vdaADON OLAM

This song of praise gives us a sense of security as we begin the day. It emphasizes thatthe Creator is timeless, infinite and omnipotent. It was Abraham that gave the title“Adon” to the Creator and proclaimed that our relationship with the Source of the entireuniverse can be personal. This is most apparent in the closing verse of this hymn,“Hashem is with me, I shall not fear.”

Adon olam asher malach,You are the Ruler of the Universe,

b’terem kol y’tzir nivra.who ruled before anything was created.

L’eit na-asah v’cheftso kol,When everything was created according to Your will,

azai melech sh’mo nikra.then the sovereignty of Your Name was declared.

V’acharei kichlot hakol, And after everything ceases to be,

l’vado yimloch nora. You will majestically reign alone.

V’hu hayah v’hu hoveh, And You were and You are,

v’hu yih-yeh b’tifarah.and You will be forever in grandeur.

V’hu echad v’ein sheini,And You are One and there is no second one,

l’hamshil lo l’hachbirah. You are incomparable and unique.

B’li reishit b’li tachlit,You are without beginning or end,

v’lo ha-oz v’hamisrah.and to You alone are power and dominion.

V’hu Eili v’chai go-ali,You are my Creator and my living Redeemer,

v’tzur chevli b’eit tzarah.and You are my Rock in times of trouble and distress.

V’hu nisi umanos li,You are my banner and refuge,

m’nat kosi b’yom ekra. a generous benefactor when I call upon You.

The following is always recited:

yrsaASHREI

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.

BLESSINGS OF THE SH’MA rny z`ixw zekxa

ims tayrq tvkrbBLESSINGS OF THE SH’MA

Before we enter the world of B’riyah, we recite the Bar’chu. Kabbalah teaches that duringthe night a part of our soul leaves us. As we say the last line of the Bar’chu, the missingpart of our soul returns to us.

We bow first at our knees and then at our waist as we say Ekœ§xA Bar’chu and KExA Baruch

we stand upright at ig the Name of Hashem.

vkrbBAR’CHU

The Chazzan says the first line.

!KxŸaœ§n ©d dedi z ¤ Ekœ§xABar’chu et Adonai ham’vorach!

Praise Adonai to Whom praise is due!

Everyone responds with the second line, and then it is repeated by the Chazzan.

!c¤re mlFr §l KxŸaœ§n ©d dedi KExABaruch Adonai ham’vorach l’olam va-ed!

Praised be Adonai to Whom praise is due, now and forever!

rva rovyYOTZEIR OR

This blessing reminds us that the Creator made both light and darkness. Kabbalahteaches that within us is an equal measure of them both and it is because of our free willthat we are able to choose between the two. This blessing begins our series ofconnections in the world of B’riyah.

imsTHE SH’MA

The Sh'ma is an affirmation of faith. It both expresses our love for the Creator, and alsoserves as an ode to the divinity of the soul. Kabbalah teaches that the Sh’ma is theacknowledgement of unity and connects us to B’riyah, the World of Creation. It bringsthe Creator’s Oneness into our consciousness and reminds us that we must extendunconditional love to all.

The enlarged letters r and c form the word c¥r, which means witness. By saying theSh’ma, we bear witness to the Creator’s unity as we declare it to the world. The secondverse we say in a whisper because it is the prayer of the angels and we are not ordinarilyin a state to say it as they do.

Just as the previous blessing expressed the Creator’s love for us, the blessings that followthe Sh’ma express our love for the Creator. Each section corresponds to one of theletters of the Divine Name.

59


It is important to say each word clearly and not to run words together.We recite the first verse aloud while covering the eyes with the right hand.

THE AMIDAH dcinr

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).

PSALM 27 fk mildz

zk ,ylhtPSALM 27

The custom to recite this Psalm during the High Holy Days is based on the Midrash whichexplains that “Hashem is my Light” on Rosh Hashanah, “and my salvation,” on Yom Kippur;“He will hide me in His shelter,” which is an allusion to Sukkot.

L’David.By David.

Adonai ori v’yishi mimi ira,Adonai is my Light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?

Adonai ma-oz chayai mimi efchad.Adonai is the strength of my life, whom shall I dread?

Bikrov alai m’rei-im,When there would approach against me those who do evil,

le-echol et b’sari tzarai v’oy’vai li,to devour my flesh, my enemies and my foes against me,

heimah kash’lu v’nafalu.it is they who stumble and fall.

Im tachaneh alai machanehEven if an army were to encamp against me

lo yira libi,my heart would not fear,

im takum alai milchamah,even if a war were to arise against me,

b’zot ani votei-ach.in this I trust.

Achat sha-alti mei-eit Adonai,One thing I asked of Adonai,

otah avakeishthat I shall seek,

shivti b’veit Adonai,would that I dwell in the House of Adonai,

kol y’mei chayai lachazot b’no-amall the days of my life to behold the delight

Adonai ulvakeir b’heichalo.of Adonai and in Whose Sanctuary to contemplate.

Ki yitzp’neini b’sukoh b’yom ra-ah,Indeed He will hide me in His shelter on the day of evil,

yastireini b’seiter ahaloHe will conceal me in the hidden space of His tent,

b’tzur y’rom’meini.upon a rock will He lift me up.

V’atah yarum roshi,Now elevated is my head,

al oy’vai s’vivotai,above my enemies around me,

v’esb’chah v’ahalo zivchei t’ru-ah,and I will sacrifice offerings in His tent with shouts,

READING OF THE TORAH dxezd z`ixw

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.

Everyone recites:

;vmk ]yaEIN KAMOCHA

Atah horeita lada-at,You have been shown to know,

ki Adonai hu ha-Elohim,that Adonai is the Elohim,

ein od mil’vado.there is none other besides the One.

Ein kamocha va-elohim, There is none like You among the powers,

Adonai, v’ein k’ma-asecha.Adonai, and there is none like Your works.

Malchut’cha malchut kol olamim,Your Realm is a realm that pervades all the worlds,

umemshalt’cha b’chol dor vador. and Your dominion endures in every generation.

Adonai melech, Adonai malach, Adonai reigns, Adonai has reigned,

Adonai yimloch l’olam va-ed. Adonai will reign for ever and ever.

Adonai oz l’amo yitein, Adonai will give strength to our people,

14. And one shall say, Build up, build up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling blockfrom the way of my people. 15. For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabitseternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell on the high and holy place, yet with him also who isof a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heartof the contrite ones. 16. For I will not contend forever, nor will I be always angry; for thespirit and the souls whom I have made, should faint before me. 17. For the iniquity of hiscovetousness was I angry, and struck him; I hid myself, and was angry, and he went onperversely in the way of his heart. 18. I have seen his ways, and will heal him; I will leadhim also, and bestow comforts on him and on his mourners. 19. I will create a newexpression of the lips; Peace, peace for him who is far off and for him who is near, saysHashem; and I will heal him. 20. But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot

158


rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. 21. There will be no peace, says my Elohim, forthe wicked.

Chapter 581. Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice like a shofar, and show my people theirtransgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. 2. Yet they seek me daily, and delight toknow my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of theirElohim; they ask of me judgments of justice; they desire that Elohim should be near. 3.Why have we fasted, say they, and you see not? Why have we afflicted our soul, and youtake no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast you pursue your business, and exactall your payments. 4. Behold, you fast for strife and debate, and to strike with the fist ofwickedness; you shall not fast as you do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.5. Is such the fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bowdown his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Will you callthis a fast, and an acceptable day to Hashem? 6. Is not this rather the fast that I havechosen? to loose the chains of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let theoppressed go free, and to break every yoke? 7. Is it not to share your bread with thehungry, and that you bring the poor, who are cast out, to your house? When you see thenaked, that you cover him; and that you hide not yourself from your own flesh? 8. Thenshall your light break forth like the morning, and your health shall spring forth speedily;and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of Hashem shall be your rear guard.9. Then shall you call, and Hashem shall answer; you shall cry, and he shall say, Here Iam. If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the pointing of the finger, andspeaking iniquity; 10. And if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy theafflicted soul; then shall your light rise in darkness, and your gloom be as the noon day;11. And Hashem shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and makestrong your bones; and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water,whose waters fail not. 12. And those who shall be of you shall rebuild the old ruins; youshall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called, The repairerof the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. 13. If you restrain your foot because ofthe sabbath, from pursuing your business on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight,the holy day of Hashem honorable; and shall honor it, not doing your own ways, norpursuing your own business, nor speaking of vain matters; 14. Then shall you delightyourself in Hashem; and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, andfeed you with the heritage of Jacob your father; for the mouth of Hashem has spoken it.

Yizkor means remember. Four times per year we do a series of special memorial prayerssfor the departed. Through Yizkor we strengthen and renew the connection between usand our loved ones that have gone before us. A major component of Yizkor is our givingof charity in honor of the deceased following the holiday.

Limnot yameinu kein hoda,According to the count of our days, so may You teach us,

v’navi l’vav chochmah.and we shall acquire a heart of wisdom.

Sh’mar tam ureih yashar,Safeguard those with integrity and watch the upright,

ki acharit l’ish shalom.for the destiny of that person is peace.

Ach Elohim yifdeh nafshiBut Elohim will redeem my soul

miyad sh’ol, ki yikacheini selah.from the grip of the Lower World, for He will take me, selah.

yrsaASHREI

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. This Psalm assists us to bring order andthe power of creation into our lives.

Ashrei yosh’vei veitecha, Happy are those who dwell in Your house,

MUSAF sqen

[cvmMUSAF

Musaf means “added” or “addition.” In our current exile, it replaces the additionalsacrifice which was offered in the Holy Temple. Just like the Amidah, we stand during thisseries of prayers with our feet firmly together which imitates the angels and shows ourreverence for the Most High. The Musaf is the tool which connects us to Atzilut, the worldof Ein Sof.

During this connection the Musaf is first recited in silence by Everyone, and then repeated by the Chazzan.

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 pause here to say an additional blessing that relates to us personally. Kabbalah teaches that eachperson’s name corresponds to a verse in the Tanach (Hebrew Scriptures). We now recite that verse silentlywhich states our name will always be remembered when our soul leaves this world.





We now take three steps backward as we retreat from the Divine Presence. We bow left at the first line, right at the second line and to the center for the remaining lines. You may use

the part in parenthesis in place of v’al kol ha-olam.

According to the Midrash, these verses were quoted by three Jewish children to Mordechaiduring the time preceding the miracle of Purim. They connect us to the energy ofprotection against all dangers.

Al tira mipachad pitom,Do not be afraid of a sudden terror,

As we rememberthem, we meditate on the meaning of love and loss, of life and death.
