Hello Rav, Thank you so much for your timely response. I just want to clarify one issue please. You wrote “The accepted tradition in our days is that a person receiving an Aliya can recite the brocho following his own singular pronunciation, whether it is Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Chasidic etc” From this I understand that a Sephardi at an Ashkenazi shul getting an aliyah could pronounce the letters as per the Sephardic pronunciation, but can he also say the version/nusach of the bracha for Sephardim (ie. in the after-bracha a Sephardi adds “et Torath” into the bracha). Is it proper for an individual to stick to his nusach for his aliyah bracha, when saying it publicly at a shul with a different nusach?
As mentioned in the prior answer in our days it is customary to follow one’s personal pronunciation when reciting the brochos for the Torah even when it is different than what the people of the shul use. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”’a opinion is that the same applies when adding or removing words.
