Reply To: Davening – Do we really know the translation???

It is a real shame, but this was another girls vs boys situation. In most yeshivas they taught beiur tefilah to the girls while not doing so with the boys. And of course girls leanred Hebrew/Ivris and boys didn’t. So girls have a little more advantage in this area. I’m not saying that girls/women understand everything word by word but yes the general meaning. Also because we say tehillim more, and probably peak to the english side if we don’t understand something, but again girls were taught tanach, pirkei avos, etc. A lot was translated where boys were at a disadvantage.
