How to Read Torah with Yemenite taamim (melody)

[@Freddo973]

Can I combine the Yemenite accent with Maqqamim rhythm (bayat, siga, hijaz,…). Or should I continue to use the Sephardic lecture,l?

[@CHASIDUSPODCASTERS]

Shalom anyone knows where to find a page or some link to find more content ... Excellent resource

[@juancarlosgl100]

Do you think you could do more videos in depth of the explanations of the Yemenite cantillation system?

[@jerryeldini]

I am interested in learning the Yemenite taamim for the Yom Kippur morning Haftorah. Can anyone help me please?

[@christianbotello8537]

I’m trying to figure this out my self.

[@jewchainz613]

I can help you

[@NewberryStar]

Shalom, can you teach me Hebrew Yemenite variation please. I'm trying to compile the language at it's purest. How do you pronounce ayin, I understand how to make it a throat guttural sound when pronouncing the name, but as part of a word what sound would it make. modern says it's silent but I wanna speak as an ancient.

[@albertnortononymous9020]

If you can speak American English, there’s actually a trick to it. When we say the R sound, part of our tongue goes to the roof of our mouth and the root of the tongue compresses against the throat. This throat compression without bringing the tongue up to the roof of the mouth is the onset of Ayin and offset of ṣadi and tet. Here’s more information on this sound en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_pharyngeal_fricative

[@Bittzen]

Ayin is a voiced pharyngealized fricative. You have a lot further to go if you don't get know IPA and the linguistic pronunciations of Hebrew in different communities. A lot of this is also online on Wiktionary

Good presentation being he only had a couple of minutes

[@hadarta613]

Is the Yemenite method more ancient/authentic? Why did the multi-marks take over? Were there less previously?

[@bbenezra1169]

All are man-made to perfect the pronunciation.

[@Yamikaiba123]

I recommend reading the academic article, 'By the rivers of Babylon', by Regina Randhoffer. She briefly discusses the history there.

[@לואיסרוסאס-ספיר]

I don't think we could say which pronunciation is more "authentic" since we don't know how Ancient Hebrew sounded. Also, which "Ancient Hebrew"? King David's? The one spoken during the Assyrian exile? The one spoken during the Second Temple? The pronunciation probably changed over time, as it did with all the languages. By the way, it always suprised me that Temani and Ashkenazi pronunciations have similarities, like the kamatz as "o" and the tav/sav distinction, among others

[@ah795u]

@@לואיסרוסאס-ספיר because the teimani and Ashkenazi pronunciation of kamatz as "o" is the pronunciation of the letter during the Tiberian Hebrew times. Same with the Tav.

[@evolutionated1125]

There were 3 different systems of marks the Yemenite is the Babylonian system adapted to the Tiberian marks

אמת אמן

[@zsshamalama]

Where's part 2?

[@souhaibz]

Waw! You have a very good semitic masoretic pronunciation of Hebrew, altough your name is Lidenberg :D Thanks very much!

[@lenewyorkais]

What's his (Ashkenazi) name got to do with his Hebrew pronunciation?

[@M4th3u54ndr4d3]

This is a totally unnecessary comment. The ashkenazi pronounciation in some aspects is closer to biblical hebrew than the sephardic and mizrahi ones - vowels and diphtongs, for example, while sephardic and mizrahi consonants are closer to biblical hebrew.

[@Max42-42]

No he's not . He keeps using the P and grunts at the Ayn

[@Bittzen]

@@Max42-42 So are you saying Yemenite pronunciation doesn't pronounce the dagesh in פ as a p and that it rather stays an f?

[@coolrunnings2858]

more please. the alphabet

[@The7WISDOMSOFPROVERBS]

Shalom my good brother all the way from the exile in Edom. Bnay Yosef!!! Thank you for this, - your Native American Brothers!!

[@otw38]

You are covering the major Ta`amim, but you're not doing it exactly right. There are slight pauses and emphasis given that you're just running over. Don't feel bad, many people do this. I myself didn't learn until I paid a visit to moshab bareqet.

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

OTW38, Absolutely! Everybody's got it wrong except your Rabbi's grandfather who passed down the One Correct Way. So good to know that you're "doing it exactly right. "

[@britishboxer6875]

choot dog!

[@raanan1115]

Yeah, those slight pauses are after PASHTA & TIPCHA. A lot of young people mess this up today. There's a gentleman in the BIG Yemenite synagogue in Har Nof who does slight pauses in his PRAYERS at every COMMA! Once you hear it...beautiful. Moshav Bareqeth's Hhabanim are 1st Temple people, 7 days walk from any other Jewish settlements in Yemen. Regardless, they had copies of the RIF (!), so that indicates they weren't isolated to rishonim in WRITTEN form. Their peyutim feel far more simple & repetitive. The 1st time we went there, they still had elders in jalabiyoth, completely uncut hair, but with a shaved upper mustache in the fashion of Abe Lincoln. One particular elderly gentleman was working nonstop, while reciting Psalms by heart, stopping briefly for a puff on his very primitive narghillah. They were only 18 families in Hhaban (Hhatzer Maweth, Yemen which translates as "courtyard of death"), 1 of 2 Jewish groups living among Muslims who carried weapons, forbidden to them by Islam (the other group are the Mountain Jews in the Caucus Mountains).

[@lewipetrik8641]

too difficult

[@asd6557]

Pretty poor video. The narration is choppy, unrehearsed and halting. And worse, it does not include a reading of the paragraph displayed.
