Question:
Alright, it says with a star * גוי – Blessed are you, hashem, our god, king of the universe, who did not make me a gentile. For men it’s pronounced גוי and for women she should say it with a ה as גויה? Same with blessed are you, hashem, our g-d, king of the universe, who did not make me a slave. עבד for men to שבחה for women? Sorry for the lack of explanation. Thank you again.
Answer:
Hello,
You are making a very valid point. This is actually a point of dispute. The custom, at least amongst Ashkenazi Jews, is to use the same wording for men and women. The words גוי/עבד can be used for both male and female.
All the best
