[HANASHIR:7599] RE: Torah Study Aid for Rachelle

[Emily Blank <eblank...>]

>From a book my Mom gave me, I know that in the Ashkenazie world there are 
at least:

German trope,
English trope (I think)
Baltimore trope (would you believe it?, I think a mix of Western Ashkenazie 
and Eastern Ashkenzie)
Jerusalem trope and
Lithuanian trope

What I learned is close to Lithuanian trope, and the trope Josee Wolfe and 
her colleague have in their Transcontinental publishing is pretty close to 
it.

I really don't know what they do in the Sephardic world, but I'm pretty 
sure it's different.

RE: Trope Study Aid for Rachelle:

Hi Rachelle,

I have learnt trope in an order as you said, kind of forming a song.
However, I learnt it using 'English Reform' trope, which is a different
trope than most American Reform congregations use. It sounds more like your 
Haftarah trope and vice versa. However, to give you a vague ida, this is 
the
start of how it goes (To all Hebrew scholars: please excuse the poor
transliteration attempt!)

If it is singable in the American trope, then I'll finish it for you.

Ma'pach Pashta Munach Katon, Merchah Tipchah Munach Etnachtah. Mercha
Tipchah Merchah Sof Pasok. Darga Tevir... and it continues.

Does anyone on this list have any idea of how many Torah tropes there 
really
are that are still used today?

Hope this helps, Rachelle!

Best wishes,
Zoe :)
