[Avodah] Tzeni'us and gender roles

[rabbirichwolpoe at gmail.com]

Is there any tzeni"us problem with this?

"Beth Aaron is hosting a kinnot program for women, by women from 10AM to
1PM on Tisha Ba'av."

FWIW Yekke shatz's say hinneni privately and silently. The minhag is for
the shatz to wrap himself in his Tallis and to meditate quietly while
at the amud. This takes place before baruch she'amar before shacharis
as well as before Mussaf. On RH

On YK it takes place prior to Kol Nidre, mincha and Nek-lah as well. 

I suspect that saying it silently used to be the minhag for all
Ashkenazim until some cantors started "putting on a show".

Also note that the posqim have condemned shluchei tzibbur who sing to
"show off their voices" - and so those tzibburs that go out of their
way to hire such haazanim may be "mainstream" but certainly fall short
in their Avodas Hashem quotient.
