Fascinating. I was ready to hear that Rav Yehuda HaLevy was, after
all, a Sefardi, so it may be irrlevant to Ashkenazi pronunciation.
But this pdf says that the long ''O'' pronunciaton of a cholom was
endorsed by the Gra, by the Kelm Talmud Torah according to R’ Shlomo
Wolbe, by Rav Eliyahu Dessler, Rav Yaakov Kaminetzky, Rav Moshe
Feisnstein and Rav Mordechai Gifter. To all of which I can only
remark, ''Oh!''
