 Here's what I learned about Sephardic Judaism in Hebrew school. Sephardic liturgy is not the same as Ashkenazic liturgy, and Sephardim pronounce Hebrew differently. Ashkenazic Jews pronounce the V sound. Sephardic Jews change V to B, B. Critically, they take the S and say T. I grew up saying Shabbos for the Sabbath. Sephardic Jews say Shabbat. That's it.
