Spelling Equality.

On Shabbat, right after Shochen Ad, the short verses beginning “B’fi yesahrim tithallal” form an acrostic, spelling Yitzchak in the middle words. The last words of these verses can be rearranged (as they ARE in, for example, Nusach Ari, and in the Birnbaum High Holidays Siddur) to Spell Rivka as well. (Begin “B’fi yesahrim titRomam”.) If you feel that you believe in as much equality of the sexes as your flavor of Judaism will allow, perhaps you should pray this double acrostic.
