Kabbalah4All Transliteration Guidelines
Please note that transliteration guidelines are different according to each culture and also within
each movement of Judaism. We have developed these guidelines for use with our transliterated
documents. They may or may not apply to transliterations put out by other movements including
the 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 pronounced
Shva as in the word Shma.
- 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 somewhere
else in the word. In our transliteration, when the syllable falls somewhere else other than the last
syllable, 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).
Kjl n In Hebrew, the accent generally falls on the last syllable, however it sometimes falls
somewhere else in the word. Whenever a syllable other than the last is accented, a
meteg (the vertical line under the first letter) will appear.
lk The masoret above the letter Chaf indicates that this is a Kamatz Katan, which is
pronounced as o; in this example the word is kol.
EgnU
i The rafe above a letter indicates it is a Shva Na. This example is pronounced
yismchu.
Note that the rafe does not appear above the first letter of a word that has a Shva
as that is ALWAYS a Shva Na.

PSALM 29
The word for voice, which is kol, appears seven times in this Psalm, which corresponds to
Erev Shabbat. The voice is that of the Creator and the seven times represents seven
dimensions of the Light. With this Psalm, we are able to surround ourselves with the energy
of mercy that flows into our world during Shabbat.

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

LCHAH DODI
The Lchah Dodi reminds us that we must prepare ourselves to receive Shabbat. The word
kalah (bride) refers to the Shabbat Queen. We ask dodi (my Beloved), which is a
reference to the Creator, to join us in greeting Her. This Kabbalistic song connects us to the
Ten Sfirot. Througout the week we may come in contact with negative people or events
which may disrupt these energy forces within us, the verses in this song help to restore them.
During the last verse, we receive the nefesh level of the extra soul given to us on Shabbat.

MAARIV FOR BOTH DAYS OF ROSH HASHANAH
The Zohar states, All sacred acts require summoning. The Barchu is the formal call to
prayer.
We bow first at our knees and then at our waist as we say EkxA Barchu and KExA Baruch
we stand upright at ig the Name of Hashem.
The Chazzan says the first line.
!Kxan d dedi z EkxA

Bless Adonai Who is blessed!
Everyone. followed by the Chazzan, responds:

MA-ARIV
The darkness of the first day differed from the darkness that preceded creation. Ma-ariv
also means mix and suggests that the Creator mixed light into the primordial darkness.
This blessing reminds us that darkness can be transformed by the tiniest spark of light.

of which is through the gift of Torah. It moves us to love others as we have been loved.

THE SHMA
The Sh'ma is an affirmation of faith. It both expresses our love for the Creator, and also
serves as an ode to the divinity of the soul. Kabbalah teaches that the Shma is the
acknowledgement of unity and connects us to Briyah, the World of Creation. It brings
the Creators Oneness into our consciousness and reminds us that we must extend
unconditional love to all.
The enlarged letters r and c form the word cr, which means witness. By saying the
Shma, we bear witness to the Creators unity as we declare it to the world. The second
verse we say in a whisper because it is the prayer of the angels and we are not ordinarily
in a state to say it as they do.
Just as the previous blessing expressed the Creators love for us, the blessings that follow
the Shma express our love for the Creator. Each section corresponds to one of the
letters of the Divine Name.
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.
!cg dedi ,Epidl i rn W

` dedi ,l xU
Shma Yisra-eil, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad!
Hear O Israel, Adonai is our Elohim, Adonai is the One and Only!

THE AMIDAH
Amidah comes from the word Amad which literally means to stand and is therefore
known as the Standing Prayer. It connects us to Atzilut, the world of Ein Sof. It is also
connects us to the Creators Light both as individuals and as a community in a powerful
and intimate way.
Through the opening verse we ask the Creator to speak through us so that our prayers
are coming from our higher selves rather than from our ego selves. The first three
blessings pay homage to the Creator, the middle blessings consist of the sanctification of
the day on Rosh Hashanah, 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 the words we have uttered have come from the heart. The Amidah is
complete as we send peace 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 on ` 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).

SHALOM
The final third blessing of the Amidah is associated with Yosef and the sfirah of Yesod.
Through it we pray for lasting peace, which should be the ultimate aim of all of our
pursuits.

ELOHAI NTZOR
As we complete the Amidah, we now ask that we may be strengthened to make our
prayers a reality through personal integrity and by opening our hearts to Torah.

.ipp r e Lp in i driWFd
We pause here to say an additional blessing that relates to us personally. Kabbalah teaches that each
persons name corresponds to a verse in the Tanach (Hebrew Scriptures). We now recite that verse silently
which states our name will always be remembered when our soul leaves this world.

All of our prayers, according to the Kabbalists, have drawn inner Light. The Aleinu is a
magnet for external Light which seals and protects them, blocking out any negative
forces.

KADDISH YATOM (MOURNERS KADDISH)
We turn our thoughts to those who have departed this earth: our own loved ones and
those whom we have drawn into our hearts as our own, those whom our friends and
neighbors have lost, the martyrs of our people whose graves are unmarked, and those of
every race and nation whose lives have been a blessing to humanity. As we remember
them, we meditate on the meaning of love and loss, of life and death.

ADON OLAM
This song of praise gives us a sense of security as we end the day and face the night
ahead. It emphasizes that the 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 entire universe can be personal. This is most apparent in the
closing verse of this hymn, Hashem is with me, I shall not fear.

SHANAH TOVAH GREETING
The root word of truah (shofar blast) is the same as that of rei-ut (friendship). Loving
our neighbor opens the gates of mercy to us and allows us to receive the energy of Rosh
Hashanah into our soul. Therefore we greet one another on the first night of Rosh Hashanah.
The Chazzan first says the greeting and then it is repeated by Everyone.

Wine is a powerful channel of the Creators Light. We bless wine and drink it as a

THE BLESSING OF BREAD

Wheat represents the divine abundance in our physical world and bread represents the
Sfirah of Malchut when it is connected with Zeir Anpin. On Rosh Hashanah, we bless
round bread which symbolizes a crown, a reminder of Hashems sovereignty. Before we
eat it, we dip it into honey which is the manifestation of our desire that our judgement will
be sweetened, thus arousing kindness and compassion for the entire year. The second
blessing is over the apples which we also dip into the honey for the same reason.
