how do you all pronounce "Isreal"

[StThomasMore]

when referring to Isreal like in a prayer or when reading the D-R I pronounce "Isreal" "Ees-rah-ayl", just like I would if I was reading it in Latin.

When saying the "Isreal" as in "the land that is properly called Palastine is now called Isreal" I pronounce it "iz-ree-ul".

 

how do you all pronounce Isreal?

Tyler,

 

I know it was an easy mistake, but it is Israel, not Isreal.

 

I usually use two syllables when referring to the country (iz-rail), and three (with the DR "phonetics") when praying, reading Holy Writ, etc.

oh my gosh! i did spell it wrong! what are the DR phonetics you speak of?

My mistake.   I mean "eez-rye-el" or something like that, which is the "liturgical" pronunciation, if you know that (and if such can be said to exist).
