There is SO much a girl can use her voice for! A beautiful voice can inspire so much deeper then with words. It can help arouse feelings in Tefilla. It can add so much beauty and pleasantness and peacefulness to a home. Children love hearing songs and singing throughout the day makes the daily grind go smoother and help them to cooperate. Singing has a calming effect on people who are nervous. Singing a song especially for a person can inspire and lift up someone where words cant. Singing can help people remember stories, and touch their heart. Family or friends sitting and singing together brings feeling of closeness. Who cares about Zmiros and the fact that it cant be used publicly or in front of men? I don’t see that as much of a limit at all! Woman have a different role. We are nurturers, teachers, and mothers and Hashem sends us gifts to use in order to better serve Him. There is SO much we can do with it, we just have to genuinely want to use it with love . And also, I don’t feel there is anything wrong with a girl feeling good about the beauty of her voice in a choir. But it is definitely very special to want to use it for higher purposes.
