artscroll <BR>women's siddur use of Modeh, thinking that moda was more in their
"not <BR>modern" type nusach, remember that artscroll did put the brackets
around <BR>the "male bits" in Tefilla Zaka.

<DIV>
<DIV>I always have the feeling, when saying Tefila Zaka, that whoever composed
it never imagined that it would be recited by women. Actually most
years I skip most of it, except for the one paragraph I want to be sure to
say ("I forgive everybody.....") (And then I always pause for a
second before saying "Ani mochel" -- wondering every year for just one second if
I should "fix" the grammar....)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>PS Putting in brackets is not the same as changing words!
Although the use of punctuation _is_ refreshingly modern....</DIV>
