well, I’d suggest the oriental pronunciation: it should be practical in Israel on one side and closest to the ancient articulation of Hebrew.
Nobody today has the same accent Moshe had. In fact, the Hebrew in David’s time is much different than the Hebrew in Moshe’s time. And the Hebrew in Moshe’s time is much different than the Hebrew used in Beresheis. Anyone who thinks they have the “right” pronunciation is just mistaken.
The accent I have is the one given to me by Hashem. How can one say that is terrible?
I can only teach the pronunciation I have. One who has the “right” pronunciation can make their own videos. 🙂
how can you say ayin is like an aleph?!
it has a different sound it’s much deeper and it’s cut deeply in the throat. it’s the equivelant letter for ع in arabic.
don’t teach them to read the letters as theyre now mistakenly pronounced, teach them the right pronounciation.
your accent is terrible
Thank you so much!
bnaiorpueblo,
Your comment was… sad.
Hebrew is a Middle Eastern Language, so how do you think it should sound? The Jewish sages discuss it on the Gemara, rav Sa’adia Gaon and Maimonides (among others) did the same. Rav Sa’adia Gaon even criticise some communities for pronouncing some letters in a wrong way (in this case the yemenis pronouncing gimal as a ‘J’). There are rules. If you can’t pronounce the gutural Het and Ayin you can’t even be a Hazan according to the halakha…
You can’t be 100% sure, but there are for sure dialects closer than others to the right way. Compare the tradition of oriental Jews (such as Babylonians, Syrians, Lebanese and Yemenis) with the way Arabs speak their language and Assyrians speak Aramaic (languages related to hebrew) and you’ll see how close Mizrahim, especially Yemenis and Babylonians are.
Drop the “bereishis”, my friend. This isn’t Hebrew.
