I can't remember exactly the name difference for the adapted ceremony for girls) because the Torah reading had no vowels.  Of course it may also be a function of her eyesight:  really nice girl, but she's blinder than a bat; or after all it may be my hearing, as she often reminds me that I'm a nice guy, but deaf as a post...

I guess we make a good combination...
It depends on what language the Torah was, if it was in English than of course that Hebrew vowels won't exist there.

Maybe she meant the letter vowels, in Hebrew there are the symbolic vowels and letter vowels (letters that are used as vowels most of the time, kinda like in English) but the Torah doesn't lack in letter vowels as well as I'm quite puzzled of why she said that.
