Dec 5, 2007 - I am Jewish but not Sephardic however this pronounciation is much more natural for me since I lived in Mexico as a child. Is it ok for me to pronounce Hebrew in this way?

Dec 15, 2007 - I'm Ashkenazi, but I always liked hearing the Sephardic teffilot being read more than how the Ashkenazi read it.

Dec 16, 2007 - As far as I learned from my Rabbi's it is very important to follow the tradition of the father ust as being called up to the Torah strictly follows the father. If the father is Ashkenaze then that means Ashkenaze prounounciation - that's what one does indpendant of which is easier. Picking and choosing will dilute Judaism, following tradition is critical. Feel free to ask any other questions. I hope this answers your question. Sorry it took so long to resond.

Dec 19, 2007 - Thank you for your reply and guidance. I am Jewish from my father's side and they were Eastern Europe. Unfortunately, my father passed away when I was 2 and I moved to Mexico a couple years later. So, I don't know how he spoke Hebrew. This year, I went to High Holiday services and the Rabbi conducted the service in Ashkenazi Hebrew and I could not follow or understand it at all. Whereas, I can understand the Sephardic Hebrew perfectly. Maybe I just need to learn Ashkenazi Hebrew?

Dec 19, 2007 - Yes, the important thing is to find the right teacher, Rabbi. Our sages know much more than us by way of Ruach HaKodesh, holy inspiration, and by experience. As difficult as it is, I believe we should do our best to listen to them, really listen. Of course find a true teacher.. a few signs... he likes people.. he has a decent following of honest people...practices what he preaches... ask G-d for help for a true torah spiritual teacher, he'll send one... All the best!

Dec 23, 2007 - What is the meaning of a black object attaching to a head?

isralien23 Says:

Dec 24, 2007 - This is Tffilin. Every morning Jews wear tffilin as soon as they turn 13. This is to remember Exedus.

adm27497 Says:

Dec 24, 2007 - Thank you "A conch" and "the bugle horn" which "YAMABUSI" has are interesting by the same sound. What will the meaning to sound the bugle horn be?

SefaradiTal Says:

Dec 26, 2007 - it's really up to andalucia guy...if his family were not traditional and wants to do baalta teshuva, he can go either minhag; ashkenaz or sephardi. wish you the best of the best on your way to a right path! as for the guy who asked about the box on the rabbi's head, that is tefillin -- made of leather that goes on the head and wrapped around the arm. inside the boxes contain torah passages.

DavidJasse Says:

Dec 26, 2007 - As far as which way to go Sephardic or Ashkenaze. I spoke to my Rav. He said each case is different and one should consult a Rabbi.

Dec 27, 2007 - what is this prayer called as a kid i heard this every year haaneyyyyaaanuuu magandaviddd haaaneyyyyaaaauuu!!!!!!!

DavidJasse Says:

Dec 27, 2007 - this is Sephardic Selichot service or prayers for forgiveness said 40 days before Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. Ashkenaze say them for week and they sound very different.
