Reply To: Correct Pronunciation of Tav

Correct meaning what was said at Sinai? Probably close to a “th” (as in “with”; the “th” as in “the” is a Dalet). Correct according to your Mesorah? Whatever your Mesorah is. There were 12 paths through the Yam Suf, all of which were the same. So too as long as you have a legitimate Mesorah you can pronounce it any way you want. (The current Yeshivish “oy” for a Cholam, which started about 100 years ago, may not constitute a legitimate Mesorah. The Litvish “A” for a Cholam, on the other hand, certainly does.)
