Sara Builds A School
rah Schenirer lived in Kraków, Poland. When she was growing up, there were no Jewish schools for girls. Sarah had a dream. She wanted to start her very own school. But the girls weren’t interested. What could Sarah do? How would she succeed? Sarah Builds a School tells the inspiring story of a great woman who changed the face of Jewish education for girls in the last century.
Praise for Sara Builds A School
Sarah Builds a School by Ann D. Koffsky and Leslie Ginsparg Klein is a surprise (to me, anyway). It’s the biography of Sarah Schenirer (1883-1935), who created the Bais Yaakov schools for girls. Presumably Orthodox folks know all about Sarah Schenirer; I, an apikoros, had never heard of her. Klein and Koffsky tell her story with crisp, un-boring clarity… For Orthodox kids who want a deftly written book about their own history, and for all kinds of kids who enjoy biographies of unheralded heroines, Sarah Builds a School fits the bill. -Marjorie Ingall, Tablet Magazine
