ha-sho'ER le-YAD ha-sha'AR

With vowels written in, it is:

A few pronunciation notes:

• השוער = ha-sho'er
• ליד = leyad
• השער = ha-sha'ar

The letter ע in שוער and שער often does not have a strong consonant sound in modern Israeli Hebrew, but it does help separate the vowels. So:

• שוער is not shor
• שער is not shar

Instead, say them as two-part vowel sequences:

• sho-er
• sha-ar
