If a Sephardic Jew hears Kiddush in Yemenite or Ashkenazi pronunciation and does not understand it, does he fulfill his obligation?
A Sephardic Jew who hears Kiddush in Ashkenazi or Yemenite pronunciation and does not understand the words does not fulfill his obligation, since the principle of "the listener is considered as if he recited it" does not apply here [Chazon Ovadia 2, p. 18].
Is it permissible to make Kiddush on carbonated "Fantasia" wine?
It is permissible to make Kiddush on carbonated wine even initially [Yalkut Yosef p. 569].
Is it permissible to make Kiddush on wine with peach or pomegranate flavor?
One should not make Kiddush on wine with peach or pomegranate flavor since it does not have the taste of grape wine [Yalkut Yosef p. 570].
