Answer 2

There are several ways to spell this Hebrew word in English, and more than one way to pronounce it. The different spellings include charoseth, haroseth, charoset, haroset, charoses, and haroses.

The different pronunciations reflect different dialects: The most common pronunciations are kha-RO-set (Sephardic Hebrew) and kha-RO-ses (Ashkenazic Hebrew). Yemenite Hebrew pronounces the th as in the English thin.

The initial kh sound is a gutteral sound, similar to the ch in the German ach. Some English speakers pronounce the initial sound as a simple h.
