To me, a jew is a jew whether one is Aschenazi or Sephardic. I personally prefer the sephardic minhag simply because I'm of spanish origin and it needs to be preserved. Ladino is rarely spoken, and is in danger of extinction. Also, the sephardic minhag is, to me, more in tuned with ancient Judaism with the way sephardic jews pray and sing.
@Orator76 Personally as a proponent of profficiency of Hebrew, I'm in favor of letting both Yiddish and Ladino and the other Judeo vernaculars sink to oblivion. I believe the Qaraite minhag most approches ancient Judaism or the elusive authentic Judaism.
The sephardic were called that since they migrated to Spain from Israel.and then, there are Ashkenazi, Yemenite Jews, and Messianic jews. All different branches....
Very nice video.Rav Ben Haim is a very great Rabbi. I have seen his lectures at Torahanytime "dot" com and they are amazing. Check out his lectures and also the lectures of Rav Mizrachi, Rabbi Wallerstein and many many others, at the site.
I lived last year with a jewish woman from casablanca, she speaks "judeo-arab", which I understand a few words, most sfardic jews here in the south of france know some of it and their parents normally are fluent...

this is Sephardic Selichot service or prayers for forgiveness said 40 days before Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. Ashkenaze say them for week and they sound very different.
it's really up to andalucia guy...if his family were not traditional and wants to do baalta teshuva, he can go either minhag; ashkenaz or sephardi.
wish you the best of the best on your way to a right path!
as for the guy who asked about the box on the rabbi's head, that is tefillin -- made of leather that goes on the head and wrapped around the arm. inside the boxes contain torah passages.
I am Jewish but not Sephardic however this pronounciation is much more natural for me since I lived in Mexico as a child. Is it ok for me to pronounce Hebrew in this way?
As far as I learned from my Rabbi's it is very important to follow the tradition of the father ust as being called up to the Torah strictly follows the father. If the father is Ashkenaze then that means Ashkenaze prounounciation - that's what one does indpendant of which is easier. Picking and choosing will dilute Judaism, following tradition is critical. Feel free to ask any other questions. I hope this answers your question. Sorry it took so long to resond.
Thank you for your reply and guidance. I am Jewish from my father's side and they were Eastern Europe. Unfortunately, my father passed away when I was 2 and I moved to Mexico a couple years later. So, I don't know how he spoke Hebrew. This year, I went to High Holiday services and the Rabbi conducted the service in Ashkenazi Hebrew and I could not follow or understand it at all. Whereas, I can understand the Sephardic Hebrew perfectly. Maybe I just need to learn Ashkenazi Hebrew?
Yes, the important thing is to find the right teacher, Rabbi. Our sages know much more than us by way of Ruach HaKodesh, holy inspiration, and by experience. As difficult as it is, I believe we should do our best to listen to them, really listen. Of course find a true teacher.. a few signs... he likes people.. he has a decent following of honest people...practices what he preaches... ask G-d for help for a true torah spiritual teacher, he'll send one... All the best!
Very nice video... Sephardi Selichot so heart lifting...

As far as which way to go Sephardic or Ashkenaze. I spoke to my Rav. He said each case is different and one should consult a Rabbi.

"A conch" and "the bugle horn" which "YAMABUSI" has are interesting by the same sound.
What will the meaning to sound the bugle horn be?

Japanese "YAMABUSI（山伏）" is similar.
interesting.

I'm Ashkenazi, but I always liked hearing the Sephardic teffilot being read more than how the Ashkenazi read it.
