Hebrew translation:
114. אֵל בָּרוּךְ – זֶה סִדּוּר שֶׁל אוֹתִיּוֹת קְטַנּוֹת וְתִקּוּנֵי כְּנֶסֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּכָל יוֹם בַּתְּפִלָּה. וּמִשּׁוּם שֶׁאוֹתָן אוֹתִיּוֹת קְטַנּוֹת, אֵין רֶוַח בֵּינֵיהֶן, וְהֵן תִּקּוּנֵי הָעוֹלָמוֹת שֶׁבָּאוֹת עִם הַגְּבִירָה לַמֶּלֶךְ הָעֶלְיוֹן.
115. קְדֻשָּׁה זוֹ שֶׁמְּקַדְּשִׁים הַמַּלְאָכִים הָעֶלְיוֹנִים אֵינָהּ בְּיָחִיד, וַהֲרֵי בֵּאַרְנוּ, כָּל קְדֻשָּׁה שֶׁהִיא בִּלְשׁוֹן הַקֹּדֶשׁ, אָסוּר לְיָחִיד לְאָמְרָהּ. תַּרְגּוּם – לְעוֹלָם בְּיָחִיד, וְלֹא בְרַבִּים. וְהַיָּחִיד הוּא תִּקּוּן שֶׁלּוֹ וַדַּאי, וְלֹא רַבִּים. וְסִימָן לְסוֹד זֶה – שְׁנַיִם מִקְרָא וְאֶחָד תַּרְגּוּם. שְׁנַיִם זֶה לְשׁוֹן רַבִּים, שֶׁוַּדַּאי קְדֻשָּׁה שֶׁל לְשׁוֹן הַקֹּדֶשׁ אֲסוּרָה בְּיָחִיד. קְדֻשַּׁת תַּרְגּוּם אֲסוּרָה בָּרַבִּים, אֶלָּא בְּיָחִיד לְעוֹלָם. אֶחָד תַּרְגּוּם שָׁנִינוּ, וְלֹא שְׁנַיִם וְלֹא יוֹתֵר. הַתַּרְגּוּם בָּא לְמַעֵט, וְכָךְ צָרִיךְ. לְשׁוֹן הַקֹּדֶשׁ בָּא לְרִבּוּי, וְכָךְ צָרִיךְ, שֶׁמַּעֲלִים בַּקֹּדֶשׁ וְלֹא מוֹרִידִים. וּבַתַּרְגּוּם מוֹרִידִים וְלֹא מַעֲלִים. שָׁנִינוּ אֶחָד, וְלֹא יוֹתֵר, וְלֹא מַעֲלִים כְּלָל.

Zohar Teruma
#113
The Alef-Bet of the Atbash, goes up and down as explained. The last letters are in a downward direction. This is an aspect of Shabbat by itself that bestows light to Malchut.
The letters of Albam (אלבמ) go up and don’t come down. It has the aspect of Shabbat and Yom Kippur when Malchut goes up to Binah that is the secret of Yom Kippur and ascends from Binah to Chokmah and Keter that touches the endless.
#114
The next prayer that starts with “אֵל בָּרוּךְ” is according to the sequence of the Hebrew letters, but they are considered as small letters. They are not arranged in verses or lines. Each word has a letter in the sequence. They represent the support of the worlds that accompany the queen on her ascend to the supernal King.
#115
The Kedusha part of the prayer that is recited in the Holy words of Hebrew is forbidden for the individual to recite. The Kedusha at the end part of the prayer is in Aramaic and is for the individual.
We learn that from the words of the sages “שְׁנַיִם מִקְרָא וְאֶחָד תַּרְגּוּם” “Twice Torah, one translation (Aramaic)”. Twice is plural, meaning that the word of the Torah is elevated and Aramaic is just support that goes down.

If you’d like to make the Half-A-Shekel connection before Purim that comes next week, tap here.
The Portion of the week is Teruma when the Israelites are asked to give donations to build the Holy Tabernacle. We can get ‘tuned’ to the power of Teruma by making donations to our synagogues and teachers that connect us to the study of the Torah on all levels.
Friday is a good day to make a ** Donation, especially if you didn’t make a donation in the past week. Giving on Friday, which is an aspect of Yessod, expands the vessel for the Light and honor of Shabbat.
** Your donation doesn’t have to be given to the same place every week. You can alternate or split your donation among those who benefit you spiritually.
