קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא
This is one of the Zohar's most frequent divine designations. קודשא is “the Holy One,” בריך “blessed,” and הוא “He.” The site should preserve the established transliteration Kudsha Berikh Hu while also giving the plain English meaning. When the phrase functions as the subject of a sentence, the learner should recognize it as one unit before parsing the rest of the clause.
