[Mesorah] She'ata / Sha'ata

[R. Rich Wolpoe]

With tal things are not that simple.  True, in Biblical Hebrew the non-pausal form is tal, with a pasach.  But not necessarily in L'shon Hazal.
I can hear this remark clinking as it goes down the electronic highway, because is it mostly a poor ha'penny meant to elicit a response from R. David.  For I miss him as well.

Rabbi Seth Mandel»

Hard for me to believe

EG Ashkenazim have a piyyut
"Tal tein"
And end it
Shoatah hu...umorrid hattol.



We don't sayTOL tein


Also Hoffmeister changed morrid hattol back to morrid hattal. - as he also changed the Otoh's back to Atah's within the Sh'moneh Esrai.  But he did leave in pausals at the end such as "Yerushaloyim".

Shalom and Regards, RRW
