“Wow did everyone here go thru that entire post??? “
I gave it my best shot – but no.
“The Stiepler in Kraina D’Igrsa compares the relative accuracy of Ashkenazi and Sefardi pronunciation. His conclusion is that it is irrelevant and impossible to conclusively determine which havara is more “correct”, and none are perfect. Therefore he concludes that each person should continue to pronounce Lashon HaKodesh according to his minhag.”
Being a European Rov, he would feel that way. There are however, many differences in pronunciation between Ashkenazim and Sefardim. The Kawmatz/Patach, the Tuff/Suff, and the emphasis on a first syllable of a word, rather than the last. TOh-rah, rather than Toh-RAH. Since the sefardi way came first, it is clearly the more correct havara. It is certainly more authentic than the Eastern European pronunciation. For anyone who feels that the original speakers of the Hebrew language did not get the right to determine how they should pronounce it, I respond as a frum Jew, that the Christians do not get to tell the Jews, who are the original followers of the Torah, how to translate the word ALMAH. You always go to the prime source for the correct information about such things. I am fairly sure Moshe Rabbeinu did not give us the “Toyrah,” but I respect your decision to hold by your rabbonim who pronounce it that way.
As long as it is not a problem halachically, it is not a problem at all.
