# 3744 Just Saying Thanks
Question
Re - above question, The Rov mentioned that women after saying a Brocho or Tefila, are required to say Kiddush on Shabbos morning before drinking even water. Don’t almost all women say ’Mode Ani" when they wake up as men do. If so they should always have to say Kidush?
Answer
Horav Dovid Pam Shlit’a explained that Mode Ani is just a thanks expression and not a Brocho or Tefila (that is why it is recited even before washing hands. Mishna Berura 1: 8)
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is similar.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller and Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu Shlit’a.
