It is the day after the long speech by the prez --- which I did not watch. I am very uncomfortable hearing the voice and seeing the face of someone who lies, hates, and hurts. So I watched news reports with a few clips and highlights. I don't think I missed anything real.
=========================
now... I am in a Cantorial sharing program on Zoom... and gender issue is UP. Ya vs Ta... Male vs Female. The point quickly coming to my mind... is what is all-inclusive vs divisive. Including vs Excluding.. AND - is this a problem related to the translations from Hebrew. It is said - Hebrew is a language that is masculine oriented. When we did prayers in Hebrew without translations did the language orientation get in the way for women? Maybe... And now this is also for the LGBQ+ issues. OY!!!
A point up from Sheri Allen from Texas -- offered an option for Modeh Ani ... say three ways ... Modeh, Modah, Modet - thus - ADDING... She doens't do with Adonai... however in translation they are non-gender ... Other changes... , too.
Look for - YAHCHAND Guide.. Gabbai guide included...
I can wonder if there is anything lost when broad words, pronouns are used. Do I/others? want to be male? And others female, trans, etc....! Specifically? And there is the idea that came up with zoom genderlistings... which is - when people MUST self-identify does that mean some who are not ready will have to lie or "come-out" now? It may seem to many that coming-out is not an issue or... was not an issue last year (in 2024... if you get my drift).... but NOW - not necessarily something can easily do. OY!
