Can someone address the difference in the sifrei torah themselves? The word “dakkoh” in Ki Tseitzei is spelled differently in the ST of sephardim and ashkenazim. A misspelled word in a ST is a pessul. Is it apropriate for one to use the ST of the other?
this is very difficult to address since it is simply the best we can do.
and it is even worse. that is not the only word whose spelling is in question. there are a few others.
in one case, the difference in spelling would cause a difference
in saying and a slight difference in meaning!
but: ain zeh makom l’haarich!
