The issue of erasing and silencing women is still an issue and I’m among those trying to raise awareness of it. I admit that there are times when I’m not sure if it will come to anything. Or I’m not paying attention and I miss something. Or I’m just not sure what I can do that will actually work. But I’m not giving up.

There has been a lot of discussion about whether to recite a prayer or a bracha when we receive the COVID vaccine and if so what type of prayer or bracha. There have been different approaches to deal with this question. One school of thought is that since a bracha, either shehechiyanu or hatov v’hameitiv, is recited when we are feeling a state of happiness that may affect one or more people, we should certainly recite it when receiving the vaccine due to the tremendous joy that this treatment will generate. Another school of thought is that we typically don’t recite these types of brachot except in very limited circumstances, like when a baby is born.
