Question:
L’Kvod Harav Shlit”a,
My question is regarding two nekudos:
1) is pronouncing a tzeirei like a segel problematic (example: saying yisroel instead of yisroail; shomer instead of shomair; etc.
and
2)is saying “laymur” instead of “laymoir”; “kul” instead of “koil”(as in “einei koil”); etc. a problem?
Thanks!
Answer:
The Sephardim do not differentiate between tzerei and segol, also the Israeli’s who speak modern Hebrew. Everyone should do as his custom.
