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).
Kj l 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.
l k
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.
Eg n U 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 THE SEARCH FOR CHAMEITZ
Matzah is often called bread without ego. What does matzah not have? Chameitz!
Chameitz, according to Kabbalah, represents our selfish desires...our ego. The night
before Pesach, we search the entire house for chameitz. This is actually confused with
Spring cleaning. The point is not for physical tidiness, rather it is for spiritual cleansing.
There is no need to clean/remove all of the chameitz from the house. During the blessing,
we declare that any chameitz we miss is to not be considered. The importance of this act
is not the cleaning of the bread crumbs, but rather the cleansing of our inner selfish
desire. When we remove the chameitz in the evening, we awaken the inner process of
soul searching.
We begin the evening by distributing ten pieces of bread around the house, then we
search for them after saying the following blessing. It is important that we understand
the words we are saying.
THE BLESSING FOR THE SEARCH FOR CHAMEITZ
We say the following blessing before we search for the chameitz.
Baruch atah Adonai
Blessed are You Hashem,
Eloheinu melech ha-olam,
Eternal One, Sovereign of the universe,
asher kidshanu bmitzvotav
You hallow us with Your mitzvot
vtzivanu al bi-ur chameitz.
and bid us to remove chameitz.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE SEDER
Seder means order and in this case, it is a meal which is used as a connection tool to
the energy of Pesach. Since it is a meal, its appropriate to invite over family and
friends to join in the festivities.
You will need the following items for the Seder:
Two Shabbat/Holiday Candles
Red Wine or Red Grape Juice
Matzah
Karpas (Parsley)
Maror (Horseradish)
Chazeret (Romaine Lettuce)
Roasted Shank Bone (Lamb)
Roasted Egg
Charoset (mixture of chopped apples, honey, nuts, and Kosher wine/grape juice,
there are various types, some people add sugar and cinnamon, you can either chop it
fine or use a food processor, consistency is of personal preference.)
Water/Basin for Hand Washing (done at the table)
Bowls of Water with Kosher Salt (for dipping the Karpas)
Cup for Elijah
Seder Plate
Pillows in each chair (to lean upon)

PESACH
The energy of Pesach is freedom. During the Seder we recall the bitterness of our exile in
Egypt and our struggles as a people. Egypt is actually not only a place, it is a metaphor
for our ego and reactive nature. When we react and let our ego run our lives, we are back
in Egypt once again. From the very beginning we were ruled by our ego. The ego has no
power of its own, rather it is fueled by our reactive behavior. Humankind was on the very
edge during the time of Egypt. It was then that the Light rescued us through ten very
powerful strikes, also known as the Ten Plagues.

K4A PESACH HAGGADAH

The Kabbalists teach that this was not the end of the ego, but rather an opportunity for us
to regain control. Now each year we have a particular time that this same energy flows
into our world and this time is known as Pesach. A time where we can strike the ego once
again with the energy of the Light and regain control over our lives.
We celebrate the Seder not as a commemoration, but as a tool to connect to that
reservoir of spiritual energy unique to Pesach. The Seder plate is a representation of our
lives and the items on it correspond to the 10 Sfirot and the Ten Plagues. Each item on
the plate is a tool which assists us in using the energy of the 10 Sfirot. With this energy,
we are able to put our ego in check, as well as balance the ego and the soul. This is our
opportunity to end chaos, to make a resolution to live a proactive life rather than a
reactive one, and to operate from the consciousness of the soul rather than that of the
ego.
hriq
THE SEDER PLATE
Each item on the Seder plate, through the energy of Pesach, becomes a tool which
connects us to the Sfirot, also known as the Tree of Life.
tvom
Matzot
The three Matzot link us to these three Sfirot. Matzah is known as bread without ego
because it lacks leaven, which according to the Kabbalists, is a symbol for ego. We must
always be willing to reach out to others and no matter how far along we are in our
spiritual journey, we are never above anyone else. Loving our neighbor as ourself means
we are all equal and important.
ivrz
ZROA
Chesed is mercy and is represented by the shank bone. It represents the sacrifice that
was brought to the Temple during Pesach. It connects us to Chesed and reminds us that
to really become like the Creator, we must sacrifice our negative characteristics so that we
may truly share with others.
hoyb
BEITZAH
Gevurah is judgement. It is represented by the egg. The longer we boil an egg, the
harder it becomes. The same thing happens when we encounter people Who have
different opinions or beliefs than our own and Who oppose us, we become hardened and
our hearts become closed. Through the egg, we connect to the energy of Gevurah and
ask the Light to assist us in letting go of our opinions which often can imprison us through
judgement of others.

MAROR
Tiferet means truth and is the balance between Gevurah and Chesed. Kabbalah teaches
us that life is often filled with challenges and suffering, which is part of the correction
process known as tikun. The maror, which is bitter, represents these challenges and
suffering. By eating maror we connect to Tiferet and we shorten the tikun process by
proactively experiencing a taste of death.
tcvrx
CHAROSET
We connect to Netzach with charoset which was formulated by Rabbi Isaac of Luria, the
Ari. Netzach is about victory and through the charoset, we are able to overcome any past
mistakes and follow through with our commitment towards our spiritual path.
cprk
KARPAS
We connect to Hod through karpas (parsley). Water contains the energy of mercy, salt is
positive energy, and blood contains the energy of judgement. The salt water represents
the haemoglobin in our blood. We dip the karpas in salt water which sweetens any
judgement that may be headed for us in the new year.
trzx
CHAZERET
Yesod acts like a pool which collects all the energies of the other Sfirot and channels them
into our world. All of our negative traits and the chaos in our lives are gathered and with
the chazeret (romaine lettuce), which represents Yesod, we remove them completely.
hriq
KARA
Malchut, our physical world, is represented by the Seder plate. The plate has no energy of
its own, rather it is just the vessel to contain all of the energies of the tools placed upon it.
In Malchut, we have no spiritual energy on our own, we receive all of the energy by
connecting to the Sfirot.

THE WORLD OF ATZILUT
During the Seder, we pour four cups of wine. Each cup connects us to one of the Four
Worlds. Atzilut is also known as the World of Divine Emanation and is fully conscious of
its Divine origin. This realm is in the state of perfect and eternal rectification, it is the
world of the spirit. There are four levels of the soul in each human being. Atzilut
corresponds to the highest soul level called chayah. This world is represented by the
letter Yud of the Divine Name.
We fill our cups with wine for the first time.

KADEISH
Kiddush means holy and also refers to the word Whole. The purpose of the Kiddush is
to connect us to that which is Whole and holy, to the realm of the Upper Worlds.
Freedom and miracles flow from this realm; all we have to do is connect. We each pour
wine for the person sitting next to us to represent the majesty of this night, and to remind
us of the Kabbalistic principle of sharing.

Our hands have the ability to perform negative deeds. We wash our hands at the
beginning of the Seder in order to purify them. We do not recite a blessing after washing
our hands this first time during the Seder.
We pass the pitcher/basin around the table for each person to wash their hands, this action is done in silence.

KARPAS
Karpas (parsley) represents the exile in Egypt. Rabbi Isaac Luria said that the exile more
spiritual than it was physical. It is often easier to be a slave of the ego and blame others
rather than take responsibility for the chaos in our lives. Pesach is about freedom from
ego. By eating the karpas, which represents spring and the renewal of life, we are given
the power to overcome the ego. We dip the karpas into the salt water, recite the blessing,
and eat it. The salt water represents the tears that the Israelites shed during the exile.

YACHATZ
Yachatz means to split. There are three Matzot which represent three of our five soul
levels: Neshamah, our higher soul (top Matzah), Ruach, our spirit (middle Matzah), and
Nefesh, our animal soul (lower Matzah). We take the middle Matzah and split it in two,
making sure to split it so one half is larger than the other. The larger half is the Afikoman
which represents physical pleasure. We wrap the Afikoman in a linen napkin and hide it
somewhere in the room. Hiding the Afikoman also represents the positive deeds we do in
the form of helping others. When we help others it should be unconditional and hidden, in
other words we shouldnt help others to receive praise from them or from others because
of our good deeds. The smaller half of the Matzah represents spiritual fulfillment.
The leader breaks the middle Matzah in two and puts the smaller part back between the two whole Matzot.
The larger portion of Matzah is wrapped in a linen napkin for later use as the Afikoman and is placed briefly on
the shoulder to recount that Israel left Egypt carrying their Matzot on their shoulders.

HA LACHMA ANYA
Kabbalah teaches that bread actually connects us to our ego nature. The leavening is
likened to ego because it has the same effect on bread as it does on us when it becomes
inflated. With an inflated ego, the Light of our soul is hidden and we are cut off from
what we came to this life to accomplish. The Israelites did not have time to wait for the
bread to rise as they began the Exodus. If they were going to escape, they would have to
leave their ego behind. Matzah is bread without ego and we use this verse to connect to
the energy of Matzah, which enables us to overcome our selfish desires.
Ha lachma anya di achalu

THE WORLD OF BERIYAH
During the Seder, we pour four cups of wine. Each cup connects us to one of the Four
Worlds. Beriyah is known as the World of Creation. This realm is the first of the three
lower worlds. Here the initial substance of creation emerges out of Ain Sof and we begin
to see the separation between the Creator and humankind. Beriyah is the spiritual origin
of human intelligence. This is the world of the highest angels known as archangels and
the world that corresponds to the level of soul known as nshamah, the seat of the higher
self. This world is represented by the first letter Hei of the Divine Name.
We fill our cups with wine for the second time. The Seder plate is removed from the table.

MAH NISHTANAH
During our Seder, we ask how is this night different from all other nights? Kabbalah
teaches us that the energy of Pesach and the tools used during the Seder help us to
overcome our ego nature. When we overcome ego, we are no longer slaves. By
connecting to the energy of Pesach we are accomplishing the same miracle that the
Israelites accomplished in Egypt.

The wise person is wise because of his or her desire to seek the spiritual truth beneath
the telling of the story of the Exodus. To be wise, we must realize that there is more to
life than that of this physical realm of Malchut.

MOTZI
Before breaking the Matzah, we meditate on three Kabbalistic Triplets for sustenance and
prosperity. Through this meditation we awaken within ourselves the realization that all
things flow to us from the Creator. Following the meditation we say the Kabbalisitic
statement of intention.

MATZAH
Bread and Matzah are basically the same; both contain flour and water. However, bread
goes through a fermentation process before it is baked that changes its appearance and
taste. Matzah is baked before it has time to rise and also has no chameitz or fermenting
agent. Matzah is likened to truth because it does not change and you simply taste flour
and water. Bread on the other hand is likened to falsehood because the taste of the flour
has been disguised. The chameitz, which is likened to ego, can be puffed up with lies
about our actual reality. As we connect to the energy of freedom during Pesach, it is
important that we connect to the truth of Matzah.
All three Matzot are raised as we say the following blessing.
Baruch atah Adonai,
our Elohim, Sovereign of the Universe,
hamotzi lechem min ha-aretz.
Who brings forth bread from the earth.

MAROR
Maror has the same numerical value as the word death. When we slowly chew the
maror and embrace its bitterness, we are tasting death and removing ourselves from its
grip. We dip the maror into the charoset, careful to shake off the excess charoset so as to
not neutralize the taste of the maror. Dipping the maror gives us a taste of the sweetness
of freedom as we remember the bitterness of our struggle to transform our ego nature.
All take a piece of maror and dip it in the charoset. We say the following blessing before eating the maror.

KOREICH
The month of Nissan is ruled by the constellation of Aries, the Ram. It is no coincidence
that this animal was chosen to be the sacrifice at Pesach during the days of the Temple.
This connection, according to Kabbalah, assists us in rising above the astrological
constellations and their influence over us.
The bottom Matzah is broken and distributed.
All take a piece of chazeret (romaine lettuce) and dip it in the charoset and make a sandwich with the Matzah.
We say the following blessing, and then we eat the sandwich while reclining.

In remembrance of the Temple we do as Hillel.

We now partake and eat of the festival meal. We are not giving in to the desire to
receive. On the contrary we are eating to give ourselves energy to continue forward in
our spiritual transformation. At the beginning of the meal, we eat an egg which
represents the Passover sacrifice brought to Jerusalem in the days of the Temple. Our
meal should be eaten in a combination of joy and solemnity, for the meal is also part of
our connection. It is suggested that our conversations during this portion of the Seder be
about Pesach and Kabbalistic wisdom. We eat a moderate amount during the meal so as
to save room for the Afikoman.

TZAFUN
The Afikoman represents the Pesach sacrifice. Tzafun literally means the revelation of
that which is hidden. The Matzah we eat at the beginning of the meal connected us to
the energy responsible for the redemption from Egypt. The hiding of the Afikoman
connects us to the energy of the Final Redemption, when the Tikun Olam will be realized.
We eat this at the very end of our meal and are not to eat anything else for the remainder
of the Seder.

THE WORLD OF YETZIRAH
Yetzirah is known as the World of Formation. There is increasing differentiation in this
world because it is further removed from the direct Light of the Creator. Yetzirah is the
spiritual origin of human emotion. This is the world of the angels and the world that
corresponds to the level of the soul known as ruach, which is seated in the heart. This
world is represented by the letter Vav of the Divine Name.

Elijah will herald Mashiach, a new level of consciousness which will enable all people of the
earth to live in love, peace, and harmony with one another, with little effort. Elijah is the
only being that has a dual function, in the Upper Worlds he is an angel, but in our world
he is a person. He is our link to acheiving closeness to the Creators Light and through
that closeness we are able to transform our negativity. We now invite Elijah to join our
Seder. We open the door of our home to welcome him in. We do this for ourselves and
not for him, because it is we that need to open our hearts to Elijahs message of the
Creators love for us.
We fill our cups with wine for the fourth time.

During Shabbat and Holidays, there is extra energy being released and this prayer builds up
our vessel so as to receive it. These verses are always recited in the morning, except for
Pesach where we recite them at night. At night a part of our soul leaves us and journeys into
the Upper Worlds. By reciting these verses on Pesach night, we are obtaining extra protection
for our soul for all of the other nights of the entire year.

and the world that corresponds to the level of the soul known as nefesh. This world is
represented by the second letter Hei of the Divine Name.
