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…
Did anyone else attend?
Apparently, 12,999 other girls attended as well.
What was your take away from this event?
It was amazing and really inspirational. A once in a lifetime opportunity!
Who was Sarah shchreiner?
A once in a lifetime opportunity! Well there shall eventually be a 90th Johrzeit & a 100th Johrzeit, so I don’t 1quite comprehend how this is being defined a s once in a lifetime opportunity?
Will there be a commerative issue printed?
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?
Sarah Schnerer was the founder of Beis Yaakov,
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.
