spelling of Yetev/Yitev (Lev)
editAlthough Dr. Google acknowledges that Yetev is how the two Yuds/Yudden are pronounced by many, the 17 thousand Yetev to less than 100 Yitev may not be such a good sign, per
- the story of the two shuls, one where they fought over Aliyos, the other not. A famous Rav said that, based on what he saw while visiting one Shabbos, the "peaceful" shul's people may not have cared that much. The Divrei Yoel is known to far more American Yidden, so that might explain things, I don't really know.
In any event: the two Yuds on the monuments, both husband and wife, and the obvious (his name!) say that a large percentage of those who are not Chassidim would say Yitev, not Yetev. Hence, I'm adding the Hebrew spelling and mention of Yitev.
- specifically: known as... (ייטב לייב pronounced Yitev Lev by many, based on the two Yuds of his initials)[1][2] Pi314m (talk) 21:12, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
