About Our SiddurAs an international online Sephardic Jewish community, it was important to create a siddur thatwould meet the needs of those who join us from all around the world and could be downloaded to acomputer or tablet. Our Siddur follows Nusach Ari and Nusach Edot HaMizrach (Sephardic). Wewelcome you to use our siddur whether you are joining us for services or praying on your own.

Kabbalah4All Transliteration Guidelines

a as in father

ai or ay 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 orpronounced Shva as in the word “Sh’ma”.

- a dash is simply used to aid in pronounciation, usually if two like vowels follow eachother, 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 siddur.

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.

truqh tsrpPARASHAT HAKETORET

According to Kabbalah, the incense offering in the Holy Temple was the greatest ofofferings. When we read the Parashat HaKetoret we connect our souls to the incenseoffering, and Rabbi Isaac Luria said that this is one of the most powerful tools to correctnegativity and to remove the effects of negativity. The Zohar states that the ParashatHaKetoret should be recited with great concentration.

Atah hu Adonai Eloheinu, You are the One, Adonai our Elohim,

shehiktiru avoteinu l’fanechathat our ancestors burned before You

et k’toret hasamim bizmanthe incense spices in the time

V’asita otah k’toret, And you shall make it into incense,

rokach, ma-aseh roke-ach,a spice-compound, the handiwork of a perfumer,

This passage from Gemara presents the thirteen rules used to apply the words of the WrittenTorah to the teachings of the Oral Torah. It prepares us for the next section of our service inwhich we will connect to the world of Yetzirah.

Rabi Yishma-el omer, Rabbi Yishmaeil says,

Bishlosh esreh midotThrough thirteen attributes

ha-Torah nidreshet:the Torah is taught:

1) Mikal vachomer.By lenient law and by strict law.

2) Umig’zerah shavah.From similarity of words.

3) Mibinyan av mikatuv echad, From a general principle derived from one verse,

umibinyan av mish’nei k’tuvim.and from a general principle derived from two verses.

4) Mik’lal ufrat.From a general statement followed by a specific.

5) Umip’rat uchlal.From a specific statement followed by a generality.

6) K’lal ufrat uchlal, From a general followed by a specific followed by a general,

i atah dan ela k’ein hap’rat.then you may only infer what is similar to the specification.

7) Mik’lal shehu tzarich lifrat, From a general statement that requires a specific one that,

umip’rat shehu tzarich lichlal.in turn, requires a general one to explain it.

8) Kol davar shehayah bichlalAnything that was part of a general statement which was

v’yatza min hak’lal l’lamed, singled out from the general statement to teach something,

lo l’lamed al atzmo yatza, it was not to teach about itself that it was singled out,

ela l’lamed al but to teach about

ha-k’lal kulo yatza.the entire general statement.

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.

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.

hdymiTHE AMIDAH

The Zohar refers to this section of the service as the Amidah, which comes from the word“Amad” which literally means “to stand”, and was instituted three times per day by thePatriarchs. The Amidah connects us to Atzilut, the world of Ein Sof. The Talmud refers tothe Amidah simply as Tefilah (Prayer). During the Amidah we have to opportunity, bothas individuals and as a community, to step into the Kadosh HaKodashim (The Holy ofHolies) and to offer our prayers and supplications as an offering to the Almighty One.

During the Amidah, one should concentrate on each wordand pray with a spirit of awe and humility and gladness.

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 Gematria of the first word (Uvchen) of the next four sections equals 72, which linksus to the 72 Names. The first three charts are the three verses from Shemot (Exodus)14:19-21 which correspond to Chesed, Gevurah, and Tiferet, the final chart is thecombination of these letters which creates the 72 Name and corresponds to Malchut. Thisspecial section of the Amidah for Rosh Hashanah infuses spiritual energy into our lives aswe begin a new year.

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

Elohai, n’tzor l’shoni mera, My Elohim, please protect my tongue from evil,

v’nafshi ke-afar lakol tih-yeh. and let my soul be like dust to everyone.

P’tach libi b’Toratecha, Open my heart to Your Torah,

v’acharei mitzvotecha tirdof nafshi. and may my soul pursue Your commandments.

v’kalkel mach-sh’votam.and spoil their intention.

13. And also of the son of the slave will I make a nation, because he is your seed. 14.And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, andgave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away; and shedeparted, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. 15. And the water was spent inthe bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. 16. And she went, and satdown opposite him a good way off, as it were a bowshot; for she said, Let me not see thedeath of the child. And she sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept. 17. AndElohim heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of Elohim called to Hagar from heaven,and said to her, What ails you, Hagar? fear not; for Elohim has heard the voice of the ladwhere he is. 18. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in your hand; for I will make him agreat nation. 19. And Elohim opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and shewent, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad to drink. 20. And Elohim was withthe lad; and he grew, and lived in the wilderness, and became an archer. 21. And helived in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother took for him a wife from the land ofEgypt.

said to Abraham, What do these seven ewe lambs mean which you have set bythemselves? 30. And he said, These seven ewe lambs shall you take from my hand, thatthey may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well. 31. Therefore he called that placeBeersheba; because there they swore both of them. 32. Thus they made a covenant atBeersheba; then Abimelech rose up, and Pikol the chief captain of his army, and theyreturned to the land of the Philistines. 33. And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba,and called there on the name of Hashem, the everlasting Elohim. 34. And Abrahamsojourned in the Philistines’ land many days.

1. And there was a certain man of Ramathaim-Zophim, of Mount Ephraim, and his name wasElkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, anEphrathite; 2. And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hanna, and the name of theother Peninna; and Peninna had children, but Hanna had no children. 3. And this man wentout of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to Hashem of hosts in Shiloh. And the twosons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of Hashem, were there. 4. And when the timewas that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninna his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters,portions; 5. But to Hanna he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hanna; but Hashem hadclosed her womb. 6. And her adversary also provoked her bitterly, to irritate her, becauseHashem had closed her womb. 7. And as he did so year by year, when she went up to thehouse of Hashem, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat. 8. Then saidElkanah her husband to her, Hanna, why do you weep? and why do you not eat? and why isyour heart grieved? am I not better to you than ten sons? 9. So Hanna rose up after they hadeaten in Shiloh, and after they had drank. And Eli the priest sat upon a seat by the gate post

151


of the temple of Hashem. 10. And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Hashem, andwept bitterly. 11. And she vowed a vow, and said, O Hashem of hosts, if you will indeed lookon the affliction of your maidservant, and remember me, and not forget your maidservant, butwill give to your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to Hashem all the days of hislife, and there shall no razor come upon his head. 12. And it came to pass, as she continuedpraying before Hashem, that Eli observed her mouth. 13. And Hanna spoke in her heart; onlyher lips moved, but her voice was not heard; therefore Eli thought that she was drunk. 14.And Eli said to her, How long will you be drunk? Put away your wine from you. 15. And Hannaanswered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit; I have drunk neither winenor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before Hashem. 16. Take not yourmaidservant for a worthless woman; for out of my great complaint and grief have I beenspeaking. 17. Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace; and Elohim of Israel grant you thepetition that you have asked of him. 18. And she said, Let your maidservant find grace inyour sight. So the woman went her way, and ate, and her countenance was sad no more. 19.And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before Hashem, and returned, andcame to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hanna his wife; and Hashem rememberedher. 20. And it came to pass, in due course, that Hanna conceived and bore a son, and calledhis name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him from Hashem. 21. And the man Elkanah,and all his house, went up to offer to Hashem the yearly sacrifice, and his vow. 22. But Hannadid not go up; for she said to her husband, I will not go up until the child is weaned, and thenI will bring him, that he may appear before Hashem, and there remain forever. 23. AndElkanah her husband said to her, Do what seems to you good; remain until you have weanedhim; only Hashem establish his word. So the woman stayed, and nursed her son until sheweaned him. 24. And when she had weaned him, she took him with her, with three bulls, andone ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him to the house of Hashem in Shiloh;and the child was young. 25. And they slew a bull, and brought the child to Eli. 26. And shesaid, Oh my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, prayingto Hashem. 27. For this child I prayed; and Hashem has granted me my petition which Iasked of him; 28. Therefore also I have lent him to Hashem; as long as he lives he shall belent to Hashem. And he worshipped Hashem there.

Chapter 21. And Hanna prayed, and said, My heart rejoices in Hashem, my horn is exalted in Hashem;my mouth is enlarged over my enemies; because I rejoice in your salvation. 2. There is noneholy as Hashem; for there is none beside you; nor is there any rock like our Elohim. 3. Talkno more so very proudly; let not arrogance come out of your mouth; for Hashem is a Elohimof knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. 4. The bows of the mighty men are broken,and those who stumbled are girded with strength. 5. Those who were full have hired outthemselves for bread; and those who were hungry ceased to hunger; the barren has borneseven; and she who has many children has become wretched. 6. Hashem kills, and returns tolife; he brings down to Sheol, and brings up. 7. Hashem makes poor, and makes rich; hebrings low, and he lifts up. 8. He raises up the poor from the dust, and lifts up the beggarfrom the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory;for the pillars of the earth are Hashem’s, and he has set the world upon them. 9. He will keepthe feet of his pious ones, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall noman prevail. 10. The adversaries of Hashem shall be broken to pieces; from heaven shall hethunder upon them; Hashem shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength tohis king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

:d«eŸd §iÎm ª §p1. Thus says Hashem, The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness;when Israel sought for rest. 2. Hashem has appeared to me, far away, saying, I haveloved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have remained true to you. 3. Again I willbuild you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel; you shall again be adorned with yourtambourines, and shall go out dancing with those who make merry. 4. You shall yet plantvines upon the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall enjoy the fruit.5. For there shall be a day, when the watchmen upon Mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise, andlet us go up to Zion to Hashem our Elohim. 6. For thus says Hashem; Sing with gladnessfor Jacob, and shout on the hilltops of the nations; proclaim, praise, and say, O Hashem,save your people, the remnant of Israel. 7. Behold, I will bring them from the northcountry, and gather them from the ends of the earth, and with them the blind and the

154


lame, the woman with child and she who labors with child together; a great company shallreturn there. 8. They shall come weeping, and with supplications will I lead them; I willmake them walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, where they shall not stumble;for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. 9. Hear the word of Hashem, Oyou nations, and declare it in the islands far away, and say, He who scattered Israel willgather him, and keep him, like a shepherd keeps his flock. 10. For Hashem has redeemedJacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he. 11. Thereforethey shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow to the goodness of Hashem,for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd; andtheir soul shall be like a watered garden; and they shall not languish in sorrow any more.12. Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together; for I willturn their mourning to joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from theirsorrow. 13. And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall besatisfied with my goodness, says Hashem. 14. Thus says Hashem; A voice was heard inRamah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to becomforted for her children, because they were not. 15. Thus says Hashem; Refrain yourvoice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for your work shall be rewarded, saysHashem; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. 16. And there is hopefor your future, says Hashem, that your children shall come again to their own border.17. I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; You have chastised me, and Iwas chastised, like a bull unaccustomed to the yoke; turn me back, and I shall be turned;for you are Hashem my Elohim. 18. For after I had returned away, I repented; and after Iwas instructed, I struck upon my thigh; I was ashamed and even confounded, because Idid bear the reproach of my youth. 19. Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a darling child? Forwhenever I speak of him, I earnestly remember him still; therefore my inward parts aretroubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, says Hashem.

rpvs tiyqt rdcORDER OF THE SHOFAR-BLOWING

xonmlLAM’NATZEACH

In this psalm, the Divine Name of the Creator appears seven times. The Kabbalists teachthat there are forty-nine descending levels of spiritual impurity before the lowest fromwhich no redemption is possible. Likewise there are forty-nine ascending levels ofsanctity. We recite this psalm seven times so that the Divine Name is recited forty-ninetimes before sounding the shofar. This gives us the power to transform all possible levelsof spiritual uncleanliness into holiness and purity.

Lam’natze-ach livnei korach, mizmor.For the conductor, by the sons of Korach, a psalm.

Kol ha-amim tiku chaf,All you nations join hands,

hari-u Lelohim b’kol rinah.sound the shofar to Elohim with a cry of joy.

romh ]mMIN HAMETZAR

The first letters of each of the six verses spell out two words Kra Satan which translate as“tear away the Opponent.” Kabbalah tells us that Satan is the pure negative energy ofthe desire to receive for the self alone. The Min Hametzar verse humbles and quiets ourego, while the remaining verses tear away the Opponent from us.

Each of the following verses is first said by the Tokea (Shofar blower) and then repeated by Everyone.

Min hametzar karati Yah,From the straits did I call upon Yah,

rpvs tiyqtBLOWING OF THE SHOFAR

Kabbalah teaches that the Shofar is just a ram’s horn until we bless it. The followingblessing activates the spiritual energy of the ram’s horn, thereby making it the powerfultool known as the Shofar. We stand during the Shofar blowing because sitting grounds usand connects us to manifestation. It is possible that during the Shofar blowing manyfeelings may come up, both good and bad. Allow them to do so, because you are beingcleansed through this process.

With the first thirty blasts of the Shofar, we connect to the energy of Abraham. Thisenergy corresponds to the Right Column of the Tree of Life and represents sharing.

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.

SILENT MUSAF

Musaf means “added” or “addition.” In our current exile, it replaces the additionalsacrifice which was offered in the Holy Temple. The Musaf of Rosh Hashanah differs fromthe other Festivals because it contains nine blessings instead of seven. Nine reminds usthat the Creator shows us mercy on this day. The Musaf of Rosh Hashanah is first done insilence by Everyone. Afterwards it is repeated by the Chazzan. Just like the Amidah, westand during this series of prayers with our feet firmly together which imitates the angelsand shows our reverence for the Most High. The Musaf is the tool which connects us toAtzilut, the world of Ein Sof.

The Silent Musaf is an opportunity for us to have a moment of individual reflection.

hnsh sar ls [cvmMUSAF OF ROSH HASHANAH

CHAZZAN’S REPETITION

Musaf means “added” or “addition.” In our current exile, it replaces the additionalsacrifice which was offered in the Holy Temple. The Musaf of Rosh Hashanah differs fromthe other Festivals because it contains nine blessings instead of seven. Nine reminds usthat the Creator shows us mercy on this day. The Musaf of Rosh Hashanah is first done insilence by Everyone. Afterwards it is repeated by the Chazzan. Just like the Amidah, westand during this series of prayers with our feet firmly together which imitates the angelsand shows our reverence for the Most High. The Musaf is the tool which connects us toAtzilut, the world of Ein Sof.

During the Chazzan’s repetition of the Amidah, one should concentrate on each wordand pray with a spirit of awe and humility and gladness.

bqiyJACOB

Repitition of the Musaf

With the third set of thirty blasts of the Shofar, we connect to the energy of Jacob. Thisenergy corresponds to the Central Column of the Tree of Life and represents balance.Murder is not limited to killing someone. We can also kill someone’s character orreputation through evil speech, such as gossip. Likewise, if we don’t tell someonesomething they need to know and they are severely hurt by our inaction, this too is aform of murder. When we connect to the Central Column, we are given wisdom to useour words in a balanced and spiritual manner. The third set of thirty blasts removes theforces which tempt us to give in to evil speech.

With the third set of thirty blasts of the Shofar, we connect to the energy of Jacob. Thisenergy corresponds to the Central Column of the Tree of Life and represents balance.Murder is not limited to killing someone. We can also kill someone’s character orreputation through evil speech, such as gossip. When we connect to the Central Column,we are given wisdom to use our words in a balanced and spiritual manner. The third setof thirty blasts removes the forces which tempt us to give in to evil speech.

bqiyJACOB


With the third set of thirty blasts of the Shofar, we connect to the energy of Jacob. Thisenergy corresponds to the Central Column of the Tree of Life and represents balance.Murder is not limited to killing someone. We can also kill someone’s character orreputation through evil speech, such as gossip. Likewise, if we don’t tell someonesomething they need to know and they are severely hurt by our inaction, this too is aform of murder. When we connect to the Central Column, we are given wisdom to useour words in a balanced and spiritual manner. The third set of thirty blasts removes theforces which tempt us to give in to evil speech.

THE FINAL BLAST OF THE SHOFAR

According to Kabbalah there are 101 blasts of the Shofar. This final blast is to empowerall the physicists, scientists, medical researchers, inventors, and other innovators, to drawdown infinite knowledge from the world of Ein Sof and manifest it in our world.

.dlecb driwzT’ki-ah G’dolah.

We recite the following after the final blast which helps our prayers to ascend into theUpper Worlds. According to the Ari, the four Yuds in the final line of this prayer ignite thepower of healing.
