For fear of being branded "yeshivish." Koisel is very yeshivish sounding...
So they'd rather sound Tzionish What's wrong with Kosel (a middle ground)
As in Howard?
Can anyone explain why people who normally use regular ashkenaz havarah still call it the Kotel (or use the name Batsheva etc.)?
Well, does @Something Fishy say Tile Uviv or Tel Aviv? Natenyoohi or Netanyahu?
Definitely Netanyoohee
If it was Kosel, maybe they'd visit?
The conversation has long moved from there, we're now discussing why mainstream ashkenazic yidden call it the "Kotel"
A. It's used interchangeably for most Ashkenazim.B. C. AKA, it's been Israelified, for better or worse.
I'm sorry but I don't know what that is/means.
Yep exactly the same.. How about shabaat?
C. AKA, it's been Israelified, for better or worse.
