wrong with the limbs You gave me" is the following: "Al yedei hirhurim
ra'im basi lidei hotza'as zera levatala." In the ArtScroll machzor, these
words are placed within brackets, indicating they are to be said only by
men. Actually, to me it seems that whoever wrote Tefilla Zaka had only men
in mind and it didn't occur to him that women might also recite this
tefilla. (However, since it now seems to be the accepted thing to do, I do
say the Tefilla Zaka -- sans that particular phrase of course -- with
special kavana for the paragraph forgiving those who spoke loshon hara about me
and fervently praying that those about whom I spoke L'H will forgive
me!)<BR></DIV></FONT></DIV>
