    Did anyone else attend? Wasn’t it AMAZING?!

    In honor of Sarah Schenirer’s 80th Yartzheit, 13,000 Bais Yaakov students gathered at Barclay Center today, for a day of inspiration. I just got back, and omg it was so amazing! They had the best speakers (Rabbi Ephraim Waschman, Rebbetzin Rina Tarshish, Rav Malkiel Kotler and a lot more), and it was so cool to see so many BY girls all in the same hall…

    Hey shiralover! Wonder if we saw each other at the event… 🙂

    My takeaway from the event is the same as Shira’s, I guess. Just… I dunno, it was over too soon. Already the inspiration is wearing off.

    My favorite part about it was the flyer advertising the event in Brooklyn on Monday night. They blurred out the faces of all the girls in front of the Beis Yaakov schools.

    Big deal. So they blurred it. The only people that are bothered are the usual small cadre of loud “activists”.

    So, what amazed you, and what inspired you? what did it inspire you to do or feel?

    There are many things about Sarah Schenirer which are not taught to Beis Yaakov girls.

    Her original lectures were attended by both men and women.

    When she got sick, she wrote in her diary, “For the first time in twenty-three years I did not daven be’tzibbur”. It seems she went to shul every day!

    After she married, her husband said she was too religious for him, and divorced her.
