said the word wrong in davening, daven again?

Question:

If one concluded the third bracha of the Amidah with “ho-El hakodosh” (pronounced like the English letter “l”) instead of the correct pronunciation “ho-Ayl hakodosh,” does he need to daven again, since the word “El” is not a name of Hashem?

Answer:

Although the person was not medakdek when saying the word, in this case whether he said it with a tzayray or a segol, will not change the meaning of the word, and it is as if he said the correct word. Therefore the person was yotza the bracha, and everything is fine.
