Talk:Likkutei Sichos

Latest comment: 7 years ago by InternetArchiveBot in topic External links modified

There are many other noteworthy individuals that contributed to Likkutei Sichos. I know Rabbi Leibel Shapiro from Tomchei Tmimim in Miami was greatly involved. As was Rabbi Minkowitz from Montreal. Interesting note: I think Shlomo Carlbach's brother arranged the mafteach for the first 4 volumes. Gavhathehunchback 06:18, 5 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I never suggested otherwise. If you have solid info., please feel free to contribute it to the article. Yehoishophot Oliver 11:14, 5 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I've repasted here the original request present on the article, as more appropriate:

Please could someone summarise the general contents of the many volumes of Likkutei Sichos, eg. in terms of "Foundational concepts of Hasidus and its practical message for our generation: vol 1-4", "Rashi Sichos: vol..." etc. (from user:Yehoishophot Oliver) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daubmir (talkcontribs) 14:27, 16 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Odd English transliteration

edit

Please excuse my ignorance, but I fail to understand the reason behind the strange transliteration, and this is just one case amidst many. In Hebrew Language the name of this work is ליקוטי שיחות, which ought to be written in Roman letters as Likutei Sichot for the English-speaking world, with just one 'k' and an ending 't'. As the English language lacks a letter phonetically equivalent to the hebrew 'ח‎' (Heth or H̱et - IPA χ), a 'ch' is employed. When transliterating to the Spanish Language (for example) which has a fair share of Jewish and Arabic influences, the letter chosen would be a 'j', thus: Likutei Sijot. But the real problem is the ending 's' which is used instead of the very familiar letter 't', which is perfectly equivalent to Tav (ת), the last letter of the Modern Hebrew alphabet. I have found no help in articles like Romanization of Hebrew. Can anyone clarify? I find invented, non-existing words like 'Sichos' hard to digest. Thanks! --AVM (talk) 13:48, 13 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Why do you find this "hard to digest", and why do you think "sichos" is a non-existant word? In Hebrew, there are two forms of the letter tav - one with a dot inside, pronounced 't', and one without a dot. Ashkenazim traditionally pronounce the latter 's'. Sephardic Jews have lost the distinction, and pronounce bot forms as 't', and the Zionist authorities have made that the stnadard for what is called Modern israeli Hebrew. But Likkutei Sichos is not written in Modern Israeli Hebrew, it is written is Talmudic Hebrew and in Yiddish. The author was an Ashkenasic Jew, and so the spelling of the title Likkutei Sichos is entirely appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kepipesiom (talkcontribs) 00:53, 30 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
