"The material I thought appropriate for the Partition ('Mechitza) that separates the male and
female worshippers, is made of the ritual garb worn by religious Jewish men ('Tsitsit').
But if there were nine male worshippers and one thousand female worshippers, the service could not
begin because the service requires the presence of ten men."
