RABBI RAFAEL MELDOLA, RABBI OF THE SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE COMMUNITY IN LONDON, EIN EIS LACHASHOS – A TREATISE REGARDING THE CORRECT PRONUNCIATION OF HEBREW.
Strongly worded tract regarding an attempt by a chazzan in London to change the traditional pronunciation of a word in the Shirath Hayam Torah reading. It is presented as a question and response regarding a dispute between an unnamed rabbi and chazzan, but it has been claimed that the author of this tract was in fact the Rabbi involved in the dispute.
