Sephardim Should read Their Own Parshat Zachor

Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef: Sephardim Should read Their Own Parshat Zachor, Ashkenazi Havarah (pronunciation) is Wrong

Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, head of the Moetzet Chachmei Hatorah and one of the most brilliant Torah minds of our generation, during a drasha last year before Purim discussed various halachot related to Purim.
Rav Yosef stated that Sephardim in Ashkenazi yeshivot should make their own kriat haTorah (reading) for Parashat Zachor rather than being yotzeh with the yeshiva’s minyan following the Ashkenazi minhagim and havarah (pronunciation).

According to many Rishonim, the reading of Parshat Zachor is a de’Oraitah (Torah).
Rav Yosef said that since reading Parshat Zachor is Min Hatorah, each person must do it according to the havarah  (pronunciation) of his own community custom.
Rav Yosef added that “The Sephardim’s havarah is the correct one. The Ashkenazi accent is wrong. But they insist. They’re stubborn… They don’t want to change. Even some Ashkenazim testify that our pronunciation is the right one, the truth.”
