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.

ABOUT SELICHOT

Used each day during the month of Elul and in the days between Rosh Hashanah and
Yom Kippur this connection unites us with the Light and with the consciousness of
slicha, which means forgiveness, and we cleanse ourselves of our past negative
actions. The best time to do this connection is between midnight and dawn, for it is
during this time when mercy is awakened.

The month of Elul is dedicated to teshuvah, which means to return. We return to

ourselves through introspection and to the Light through repentance for any negative
actions we may have done. It is not enough to just do this connection, we must also
feel repentance for those actions and seek to correct them. The negative actions that
we do determine our destiny. Teshuvah is the means through which we can reverse
the effects of our negative past actions . It gives us the ability to go back in time and
transform the negative into positive. Therefore, we can change history through our
thoughts, remove chaos from our lives, and balance the accounts that remain open
between ourselves and others.

We know that spiritual transformation is like a garden, we cant simply plant the seeds
and expect them to grow. We must also water and tend them. Likewise, we must
dedicate time to our transformation.

It is important to remember that the Creator has no need of our prayers, but through
them we sense the Light within and our purpose in the world. In order for actions them
to have an effect in our world and in our lives they must be coupled with the
proper/matching intentions. Without intention, kavanah as known by the Kabbalists,
our actions are meaningless.

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