Different pronunciation customs

שו”תCategory: HalachaDifferent pronunciation customs
asked 5 years ago

I happened to encounter several different customs in pronouncing Kimetz, Chulem, etc. Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Yemenite (my mother and my father also differ) – and so on, the whole discussion of how to pronounce words is actually a historical discussion – what was once in the Temple, what is the origin – and so on, talking about reality does not belong to everyone acting like their rabbis, because in this matter the figure of the ‘Rabbi’ has no special meaning, we want to know what the truth is, what was then – and only one is right, – a question – why do we act like our rabbis and not simply clarify the issue, after all some of the denominations have claims, and assuming that it is necessary to verify what the truth is – the rabbis of each denomination – did everyone inquire and come out exactly as their custom by chance?

Regardless of the claim that this is a factual question, if you have a way to examine what is correct and reach a conclusion, there is no need or necessity to follow customs. As it is said in Yerushalmi: If the halakha is loose in your hand, follow the custom.

Does the Rabbi agree that this is a factual question?

Not necessarily. Custom can be changed, and therefore even if they once created it in a certain way, today it is possible to speak differently. This should be discussed.
