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 “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 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.
lÇ̈k 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.”
Egœ§nU¦
§i The “rafe” above a letter indicates it is a Shva Na. This example is pronounced
yism’chu.
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.
Please do not publish or distribute without permission.

BLESSINGS OF THE SH’MA rny zìxw zekxa
ims tayrq tvkrb

BLESSINGS OF THE SH’MA
The Zohar states, “All sacred acts require summoning.” The Bar’chu, the formal call to
prayer, is the leader’s invitation to bless Creator. Through our response we connect to all
five levels of our soul as we acknowledge Creator as the Source of all blessings. The
leader then repeats the response signifying complete unity with the community.
We bow first at our knees and then at our waist as we say Ekœ§xÄ Bar’chu and KExÄ Baruch
we stand upright at ig the Name of Hashem.

BAR’CHU
The Leader says the first line.

Everyone responds, followed by the Leader:

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 SH’MA
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 Sh’ma is the
acknowledgement of unity and connects us to B’riyah, the World of Creation. It brings
the Creator’s Oneness into our consciousness and reminds us that we must extend
unconditional love to all.
The enlarged letters r and c form the word c¥r, which means witness. By saying the
Sh’ma, we bear witness to the Creator’s 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 Creator’s love for us, the blessings that follow
the Sh’ma 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.

THE AMIDAH dcinr

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 Creator’s 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 supplications, 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.
We meditate in silence for several moments before the Leader begins the Amidah.
Everyone says the words of each blessing in a soft tone at the same time the Leader is chanting them.
At the end of each blessing Everyone says “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).

KADDISH SHALEIM
The Ari revealed that the Full Kaddish has the power of twice Light. One of them is the
Light within us all. The second Light is known as “Or Makif” or “surrounding Light”. The
Kaddish Shaleim is the tool which links these two Lights together.

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.
