I did not mean to imply that s'faradi pronounciation as spoken in 
Israel is the original hebrew, only that it is now the accepted
correct form of the language in modern times.

I personally would have preferred Yemenite Hebrew, or even a more
Yemenite-accented Hebrew like the singer Yaffa Yarkoni sometimes
effects, but this is now a mute point.  Jews most everywhere now
speak "Sfaradit", and I'm puzzled as to why no one in this newsgroup
except Yosi Hoshen writes in modern Hebrew.

Maybe I should ask Yosi to write up a Dvar Torah in Sfaradit
for equal time :-).
