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.

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.

lÇ̈k 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.

Please do not publish or distribute without permission.

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.

According to the Midrash, these verses were quoted by three Jewish children to Mordechaiduring the time preceding the miracle of Purim. They connect us to the energy ofprotection against all dangers.

Al tira mipachad pitom,Do not be afraid of a sudden terror,

umisho-at r’sha-im ki tavo.or of the devastation of the wicked that may come.

Utzu etzah v’tufar, Plan a conspiracy and it will be annulled,

dab’ru davar v’lo yakum, speak your speech and it shall not stand,

ki imanu El.for the Almighty is with us.

V’ad ziknah ani hu,Even until your old age I remain unchanged,

v’ad seivah ani esbol, even until your elder years shall I carry you,

ani asiti va-ani esa, I created you and I shall bear you,

va-ani esbol va-amalet.I shall carry you and rescue you.

Ach tzadikim yodu lishmecha, Indeed, let the righteous give thanks to Your Name,

yesh’vu y’sharim et panecha.the sincere will rest in Your Presence.

,lvi ]vdaADON OLAM

Through this song we are making a very powerful connection to the Ruler of the universeand reminding ourselves that we have nothing to fear when we truly connect to theCreator’s Light.

Adon olam asher malach,Ruler of the universe Who reigned,

b’terem kol y’tzir nivra.before anything was created.

L’et na-asah v’cheftso kol,At the time when His will created all things,

azai melech sh’mo nikra.then as Sovereign His Name was proclaimed.

V’acharei kichlot hakol, And after everything ceases to be,

l’vado yimloch nora. He alone will reign, the Awesome One.

V’hu hayah v’hu hoveh, It is He Who was, and He Who is,

v’hu yih-yeh b’tifarah.and He Who shall remain in splendor.

V’hu echad v’ein sheni,And He is One and there is no second,

l’hamshil lo l’hachbirah. to compare to Him or to be His equal.

B’li reshit b’li tachlit,Without beginning without end

v’lo ha-oz v’hamisrah.and to Him belong the power and the dominion.

V’hu Eli v’chai go-ali,He is my Almighty One and my living Redeemer,

v’tzur chevli b’et tzarah.and my Fortress from pain in a time of distress.

V’hu nisi umanos li,And He is my banner and a refuge for me,

m’nat kosi b’yom ekra. the portion of my cup on the day I call.
