K4A 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.

SPLITTING OF THE SEA seq mi zìxw

[vc ,y tayrqK’RIAT YAM SUF

On the seventh day of Pesach, the Israelites crossed the Red Sea. The Kabbalists teachthat each year, we have this unique night once again to tap into the same energy thatsplit the Red Sea. As we connect to this energy, think of the insurmountablecircumstances in your own life. During this time, we absorb the energy of “mind overmatter” so that throughout the coming year we can fearlessly leap into whateverchallenges confront us. Water is the most receptive to energy, and for this reason wehave a glass of water present during our connection. During the Kiddush, we drink thewater and leave a little in the glass. At dawn it is customary to pour the rest of the waterin our glass on the floor and dance in it until it dries up.

ims tayrq tvkrbBLESSINGS OF THE SH’MA

The Zohar states, “All sacred acts require summoning.” The Bar’chu is the formal call toprayer, our entrance into conversation with the Almighty One.

The Bar’chu calls us to prayer, it calls us to turn to the east and face our promised land, itcalls us to still the racing thoughts of our minds and to become present, it calls us toacknowledge that there is One Who is responsible for all the blessings in our lives.

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.

The Chazzan says the first line.

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

Bless Adonai Who is blessed!

Everyone. followed by the Chazzan, responds:

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

Blessed is Adonai Who is blessed for ever and ever!

The darkness of the first day differed from the darkness that preceded creation. Ma-arivalso 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.

Baruch atah Adonai,Blessed are You Adonai,

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

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.

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.

©n §Wrg ¤ dedi ,Epi«¥dŸl¡ dedi ,l ¥ x §U ¦i c!Sh’ma Yisra-el, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad!

Hear O Israel, Adonai is our Elohim, Adonai is the One and Only!

This verse is said in a whisper.

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 on Shabbat, and the final three blessings express our gratitude. Through theclosing prayers, we ask that we be kept in a state of spiritual awareness and we reiteratethat all of the words we have uttered have come from the heart. The Amidah is completeas 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 o ¥n ¨ “Amen”.

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).

The Kabbalists teach that this is the song of the soul and that we can acheive anythingwhen we connect to the Light within our soul. When we say it with concentration and joy,it has the power to remove negativity and facilitate our tikun process. Between the twosections, we pause to meditate on the 72 Names of the Creator. This meditation gives usthe ability to triumph over our reactive nature, just as Moses used it to triumph over thelaws of nature and split the Red Sea.

Vayosha Adonai bayom hahuAnd Adonai on that day

I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruitwas sweet to my taste. 4. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner overme was love. 5. Sustain me with raisins, comfort me with apples; for I am sick with love.6. His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me. 7. I adjure you, Odaughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or by the hinds of the field, that you stir not up,nor awake my love, until it please. 8. The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes leapingupon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. 9. My beloved is like a gazelle or a younghart; Behold, he stands behind our wall, gazing in at the windows, looking through thelattice. 10. My beloved speaks and says to me, Arise, my love, my beautiful one, andcome away. 11. For, behold, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; 12. Theflowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing bird has come, and the voice of theturtledove is heard in our land; 13. The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines in

72


blossom give forth their scent. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away. 14. Omy dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the cliff, let me see yourcountenance, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your countenance iscomely. 15. Catch us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vineyards; for ourvineyards are in blossom. 16. My beloved is mine, and I am his; he pastures his flockamong the lilies. 17. Until the day cools, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved,and be like a gazelle or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.

This your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts are like clusters of grapes. 9. Isaid, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of its boughs; may your breasts be likeclusters of the vine, and the scent of your breath like apples; 10. And the roof of yourmouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goes down sweetly, causing the sleepers’lips to murmur. 11. I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me. 12. Come, my beloved,let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages. 13. Let us go early to thevineyards; let us see if the vine has flowered, if the grape blossoms have opened, if thepomegranates are in bloom; there will I give you my loves. 14.

1. O that you were like a brother to me, that nursed at my mother breasts! If I should findyou outside, I would kiss you; and none would despise me. 2. I would lead you, and bringyou into the house of my mother, who teaches me; I would give you to drink of spicedwine of the juice of my pomegranate. 3. His left hand should be under my head, and hisright hand should embrace me. 4. I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you stirnot up, nor awake my love, until it please. 5. Who is this that comes up from thewilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I awakened you up under the apple tree; thereyour mother was in labor with you; there she who bore you was in labor. 6. Set me as aseal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death; jealousy iscruel as Sheol; its coals are coals of fire, which has a most vehement flame. 7. Manywaters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it; if a man would give all the wealthof his house for love, it would be utterly scorned. 8. We have a little sister, and she hasno breasts; what shall we do for our sister on the day when she shall be spoken for? 9. Ifshe be a wall, we will build upon her a battlement of silver; and if she be a door, we willenclose her with boards of cedar. 10. I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers; thenwas I in his eyes as one that finds peace. 11. Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-Hamon; helet out the vineyard to keepers; every one for his fruit was to bring one thousand piecesof silver. 12. My vineyard, which is mine, is before me; you, O Solomon, must have onethousand, and those that keep its fruit two hundred. 13. O you who dwell in the gardens,the companions listen to your voice; let me hear it. 14. Make haste, my beloved, and belike a gazelle or like a young hart upon the mountains of spices.

READING OF THE TORAH ON EREV SHABBAT zay axrl dxezd zìxw

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. The more we study Torah, the more we areable to see the face of the Creator and the more we are able to get the most out of life.

hms ;yrbB’RICH SH’MEH

The Zohar states that when the congregation prepares to read from the Torah, all thegates of mercy in heaven are opened, and we awaken the Creator’s love for Israel.

B’rich sh’meh d’mare al’ma, Blessed is the Name of the Ruler of the universe,

b’rich kitrach v’atrach.blessed is Your crown and Your place.

Y’he r’utachMay Your love exist

im amach Yisra-el l’alam, with Your people Israel for ever,

ufurkan y'minach achazeiand may the salvation of Your right hand may you display

l’amach b’veit makd’shach,to Your people in Your holy Temple,

ulamtuyei lana mituv n’horach,to extend to us the goodness of Your Light,

ulkabel tz’lotana b’rachamin.and to accept our prayers with mercy.

Y’he ra-ava kodamachMay it be the will before You

d’torich lan chayin b’tivuta,that You extend for us life with goodness,

17. And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that Elohim led them notthrough the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for Elohim said,Lest perhaps the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt; 18. ButElohim led the people around, through the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea; and thepeople of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt. 19. And Moses took the bones ofJoseph with him; for he had solemnly sworn the people of Israel, saying, Elohim willsurely visit you; and you shall carry up my bones from here with you. 20. And they tooktheir journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness. 21.And Hashem went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and bynight in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night; 22. The Eternal took

87


not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before thepeople.

And they said to Moses, Because there were nograves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? why have you dealtthus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? 12. Is not this the word that we did tell youin Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been betterfor us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness. 13. And Mosessaid to the people, Do not fear, stand still, and see the salvation of Hashem, which theEternal will show to you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shallnever see them again. 14.

15. And Hashem said to Moses, Why do you cry to me? Speak to the people of Israel, thatthey go forward; 16. And lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, anddivide it; and the people of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.17. And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them;and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his army, over his chariots, and over hishorsemen. 18. And the Egyptians shall know that I am Hashem, when I have gottenhonor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen. 19. And the angel ofElohim, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillarof the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them; 20. And it camebetween the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud anddarkness to them, but it gave light by night to these; so that the one came not near theother all the night. 21. And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Hashemcaused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land,and the waters were divided. 22. And the people of Israel went into the midst of the seaupon the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on theirleft. 23. And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, allPharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24. And it came to pass, that in themorning watch Hashem looked to the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire andof the cloud, and brought confusion to the army of the Egyptians, 25. And took off theirchariot wheels, that they drove heavily; so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from theface of Israel; for Hashem fights for them against the Egyptians.

And Hashem said to Moses, Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters maycome again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. 27. AndMoses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength whenthe morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled towards it; and Hashem overthrew theEgyptians in the midst of the sea. 28. And the waters returned, and covered the chariots,and the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; thereremained not so much as one of them. 29. But the people of Israel walked upon dry landin the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and ontheir left. 30. Thus Hashem saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians; and

93


Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. 31. And Israel saw the great workwhich Hashem did upon the Egyptians; and the people feared Hashem, and believedHashem, and his servant Moses.

Chapter 151. Then sang Moses and the people of Israel this song to Hashem, and spoke, saying, Iwill sing to Hashem, for the Eternal has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hasthe Eternal thrown into the sea. 2. Hashem is my strength and song, and has become mysalvation; the Eternal is my Elohim, and I will praise the Eternal; my father’s Elohim, and Iwill exalt the Eternal. 3. Hashem is One who wages war; Hashem is the Eternal’s Name.4. Pharaoh’s chariots and his army has the Eternal thrown into the sea; his chosencaptains also are drowned in the Red Sea. 5. The depths have covered them; they sankto the bottom as a stone. 6. Your right hand, O Hashem, is glorious in power; your righthand, O Hashem, has dashed in pieces the enemy. 7. And in the greatness of yourexcellency you have overthrown those that rose up against you; you sent forth youranger, which consumed them as stubble. 8. And with the blast of your nostrils the waterswere gathered together, the floods stood upright as a heap, and the depths werecongealed in the heart of the sea. 9. The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I willdivide the plunder; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my handshall destroy them. 10. You blew with your wind, the sea covered them; they sank aslead in the mighty waters. 11. Who is like you, O Hashem, among the gods? who is likeyou, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? 12. You stretched out yourright hand, the earth swallowed them. 13. You in your mercy have led forth the peoplewhom you have redeemed; you have guided them in your strength to your holyhabitation. 14. The people shall hear, and be afraid; sorrow shall take hold on theinhabitants of Philistia. 15. Then the chiefs of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men ofMoab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.16. Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of your arm they shall be as stillas a stone; till your people pass over, O Hashem, till the people pass over, whom youhave purchased. 17. You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of yourinheritance, in the place, O Hashem, which you have made for you to dwell in, in theSanctuary, O Hashem, which your hands have established. 18. Hashem shall reignforever and ever. 19. For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with hishorsemen into the sea, and Hashem brought again the waters of the sea upon them; butthe people of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea. 20. And Miriam theprophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women wentout after her with tambourines, dancing. 21. And Miriam answered them, Sing toHashem, for the Eternal has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider has the Eternalthrown into the sea. 22. So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went outinto the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found nowater. 23. And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah,for they were bitter; therefore its name was called Marah. 24. And the people murmuredagainst Moses, saying, What shall we drink? 25. And he cried to Hashem; and Hashemshowed him a tree, which when he threw into the waters, and made the waters sweet;there the Eternal made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there the Eternal testedthem, 26. And said, If you will diligently listen to the voice of Hashem your Elohim, andwill do that which is right in the Eternal’s sight, and will give ear to the Eternal’scommandments, and keep all the Eternal’s statutes, I will put none of these diseases uponyou, which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I am Hashem that heals you.

1. And David spoke to Hashem the words of this song in the day that Hashem deliveredhim from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul; 2. And he said, Hashemis my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; 3. The Elohim of my rock; in him will Itrust; he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, mysavior; you save me from violence. 4. I will call on Hashem, who is worthy to be praised;so shall I be saved from my enemies. 5. When the waves of death surrounded me, thefloods of ungodly men made me afraid; 6. The cords of Sheol encircled me; the snares ofdeath confronted me; 7. In my distress I called upon Hashem, and cried to my Elohim;and he heard my voice from his temple, and my cry entered into his ears. 8. Then theearth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because of hisanger. 9. There went up a smoke from his nostrils, and fire from his mouth devoured;coals were kindled by it. 10. He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darknesswas under his feet. 11. And he rode upon a kerub, and did fly; and he was seen upon thewings of the wind. 12. And he made darkness pavilions around him, the heavy mass ofwaters, and thick clouds of the skies. 13. Through the brightness before him were coalsof fire kindled. 14. Hashem thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.15. And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and confounded them. 16.And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid bare, at therebuking of Hashem, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils. 17. He sent from above, hetook me; he drew me out of many waters; 18. He delivered me from my strong enemy,and from those who hated me; for they were too strong for me. 19. They surprised me inthe day of my calamity; but Hashem was my stay. 20. He brought me forth also into alarge place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. 21. Hashem rewards meaccording to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he recompensesme. 22. For I have kept the ways of Hashem, and have not wickedly departed from myElohim. 23. For all his judgments were before me; and as for his statutes, I did not

100


depart from them. 24. I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from myiniquity. 25. Therefore Hashem has recompensed me according to my righteousness;according to my cleanness in his eyesight. 26. With the merciful you will show yourselfmerciful, and with the upright man you will show yourself upright. 27. With the pure youwill show yourself pure; and with the perverse you will show yourself subtle. 28. And theafflicted people you will save; but your eyes are upon the haughty, that you may bringthem down. 29. For you are my lamp, O Hashem; and Hashem will lighten my darkness.30. For by you I run through a troop; by my Elohim I leap over a wall. 31. As for Elohim,his way is perfect; the word of Hashem is tried; he is a shield to all those who trust inhim. 32. For who is Elohim, save Hashem? and who is a rock, save our Elohim? 33.Elohim is my strength and rampart; And he makes my way perfect. 34. He makes myfeet like hinds’ feet; and sets me upon my heights. 35. He teaches my hands to war; andtrains my arms to bend a bow of bronze.. 36. You have also given me the shield of yoursalvation; and your condescension has made me great. 37. You have enlarged my stepsunder me; so that my feet did not slip. 38. I have pursued my enemies, and destroyedthem; and turned not again until I had consumed them. 39. And I have consumed them,and crushed them, that they could not arise; they are fallen under my feet. 40. For youhave girded me with strength to battle; those who rose up against me have you subduedunder me. 41. You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I mightdestroy those who hate me. 42. They looked, but there was none to save; to Hashem,but he answered them not. 43. Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, Idid stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad. 44. You also havedelivered me from strife with of my people, you have kept me to be chief of the nations; apeople whom I knew not shall serve me. 45. Strangers shall submit themselves to me; assoon as they hear, they shall be obedient to me. 46. Strangers shall fade away, and theyshall come tottering from their closed places. 47. Hashem lives; and blessed be my rock;and exalted is the Elohim of the rock of my salvation. 48. It is Elohim who avenges me,and who brings down the people under me, 49. And who brings me out from myenemies; you also have lifted me up on high above those who rose up against me; youhave saved me from the violent man. 50. Therefore I will give thanks to you, O Hashem,among the nations, and I will sing praises to your name. 51. He is the tower of salvationfor his king; and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed forever.

Through Yizkor we strengthen and renew the connection between usand our loved ones that have gone before us.
