    @Toi I guess what I wanted to say was: “Do the Jerusalem briskers like the Soloveitchiks and their followers use the Litvish pronunciation of Hebrew that pronounces cholam as “ay” as in “pay” when they daven and read from Torah?

    I have read in different threads and articles of people bringing up this group the “Jerusalem Briskers”. Most of the time it has been vague references to how they pronounce certain consonants and vowels in Hebrew such as how they uniquely pronounce reish, sov, doles without dagesh, ayin, choilom and possibly komatz, kubutz, and shuruk. These threads never actually elaborated on how the Briskers actually pronounce these letters they just seem to reference them. This has led me to become curious about how they actually pronounce hebrew consonants and vowels. I always thought that all yeshivish types used the standard ashkenazi pronounciation which is basically the old Lithuanian pronounciation but with choilom instead of cheilom but it seem the Briskers may actually not use the standard yeshivish pronounciation. Can anybody please tell me if they actually do have a different pronounciation of the Hebrew letters and vowels and if so what are they? Thank you.
