This video presents a recording of a traditional Friday night Kiddush according to the Yemenite tradition, recited by Tomer Hatuca, an Israeli singer and musician of Yemenite descent. Yemenite Jews have unique religious traditions, including a particular pronunciation of Hebrew which is said to be closest to the original spoken Biblical Hebrew. Pay attention to the « j » sound (such as in « borei pri ha-jefen »), which is generally pronounced as a hard « g » sound, as there is no soft « j » sound in other traditions or in modern Hebrew.
