[Mesorah] She'ata / Sha'ata

[R. Rich Wolpoe]

I don't think it's the rav vs the linguist. It's the rav who doesn't
know history vs the academic who can tell you the Maharil didn't daven
that way.»

The maharil wrote l'eila ul'eilah

And Birnbaum and other linguists fixed that to le'eila l'eila sans the "u"

Artscroll wisely does not take sides.

Hoffmeister did a siddur with a goal to rolli back all changes made by daykaniim, m''kuballim and censors.

His result does not quite fit any model mentioned here.

More later BE"H
