I too am definitely not an expert on this issue, however, isn't there a 
problem when it comes to the pronunciation with Hebrew, due to the fact that 
if a word is said slightly differently, then its meaning can change 
completely to mean something else, and then, wouldn't that be something to 
worry about, especially if the composer didn't write his or her song with 
that intent in the first place.  Not that we always know what a composers 
intent is, but when a word is meant to mean for example "thank-you" or Hodu, 
and we're singing "turkey" which also sounds and is said similarly to 
Hodu...then isn't that not something to be careful of.

Just Curious
