<HTML>A discussion began a while ago about women reading the megillah in
public and issues of "kevod hatzibbur". I believe there might be
an issue of "lo titgodedu" as well. I teach young women and would
appreciate input on teaching them about their responsibilities
as Jews. Women are obligated in kiddush, kriat megillah and benching
(for example). Do I explain how they can be "motzi" others? Are the
others women only, their family, or a mixed group?
Thanks for your help,
