The Ma'amados are just so that this edition has something extra to make it worth it to buy. Or perhaps some women did say it. <br /><br />I know Tehillim isn't/wasn't only for women, but I was trying to imagine who was most likely to be in shul with a Tehillim and no text of Esther in front of them.S.http://onthemainline.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-34417957047894570882013-02-25T01:49:05.916-05:002013-02-25T01:49:05.916-05:00Women said Ma'amados?Women said Ma'amados?Zoharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777354773864518000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-47728512610852538772013-02-24T22:18:36.716-05:002013-02-24T22:18:36.716-05:00I think your reasoning is very sound.I think your reasoning is very sound.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-20227980932451640242013-02-24T22:13:51.702-05:002013-02-24T22:13:51.702-05:00Is there a table of contents?
