Pronunciation

It’s time once again to explain the correct pronunciation of Hebrew words, specifically of the holiday “Yom Kippur”.

Studies have shown that how a person pronounces “Yom Kippur” is an uncanny indicator of their socioeconomic status. For example, a person who owns a Kia or Honda normally pronounces it: “Yahm Kipp’ er”.

A person who owns a Mercedes Benz normally says: “Yohm’ KeePoor.” 

The driver of the Mercedes Benz, most radically of all, says: “Merry Christmas.”
