P. Zachor: Zecher/Zeicher

Parashat Tetzaveh - Yosef Peretz

http://www.biu.ac.il/JH/Parasha/eng/tetzaveh/peres.html

To sum up:

* R. David Kimhi mentions two methods of pointing which he observes in Sephardic manuscripts: zekher and zekher

* The disciples of the Vilna Gaon disagreed about how their Rabbi used to read this word in Parshat Zakhor, whether with a tzere or a segol.

* Because of uncertainty as to which was correct, the Mishnah Berurah ruled that z-kh-r Amalek should be read twice, once with tzere and once with segol

What does your shul do?
What makes more sense to you - to repeat or to NOT repeat?


Shalom,
