Thank you 🙏🏻 I couldn’t make it to SHUL today, so I listened to the Megillat Esther reading you provided today! ✡️

[@antonellabaluganti8109]

Che dio vi benedica grandemente tutti fratelli israeliti ora e in eterno amen alleluyia gloria eterna ad ascen nei secoli dei secoli senza fine amen alleluyia

It's the truth.

The sefardim sound like arabs.

[@shuldotcom]

The Jewish nation are a semitic people and descend from Ur Kasdim, Canaan, and Egypt and settled in Bablyonia for a Millennia. The inhabitants of those places are referred to as Arabs. Arab Jews, Arab Chrstians, Arab Muslims. Jews who dont pray or sing this way generally were influenced by the "new" countries and languages outside the Arab world and changed the original liturgy from the prominent Sephardic and Far East Oriental style that was the only way to pray. Jewish history is great!

The Middle East is the Middle East. Learn the language and understand what they’re saying - as a Persian Jew, I’m right at home.

There is no melody. Ashkenas leining is nicer than sefardic.

You can have a preference but stating it as fact like that is disrespectful tbh

[@ronanobrien47]

@@kizlin92I agree with you it’s very disrespectful and rude! To take an entire sect of Judaism ✡️ and just proclaim your disdain for how they practice is utterly insulting!

Go to a Moroccan shul plenty of melody!
