Heroine of The Day
Apropos of both this thread and this one of many inane comments regarding a woman's place, I am going to suspend my C.T.O.T.D. feature, and start up a new one. My Jewish Heroine of the Day feature. I'd like to start with Recha Sternbuch. She was an Orthodox Jewish woman with small children, who worked tirelessly, at great peril to herself and her whole family, to save countless Jews from becoming victims of the Holocaust. She missed the Shabbos Bar Mitzvah of her son to negotiate for the release of Jewish refugees from being sent back to Germany and almost certain death. She crossed the border, at great risk of her own deportation, from her home in Switzerland to Nazi-occupied France to argue for and ultimately gain the release of twelve Jews from being deported. For the full story, see this, as well as the segment about her in the movie "Unlikely Heroes". Her story makes me feel inadequate, living my little old life.

it was funny, but orthomom is a better blogger then just linking us to chaptzem every day.
And it's easy enough to access the website yourself. The gems are pretty obivous. Also, the chaptzem comments are often the funnier than the posts.
Yeah, that's what I figured. Now that I have enlightened everyone to the gems available at Chaptzem, I feel I have fulfilled my duty and can move on to others. Use it well.
Orthomom, another good person to profile would be Bertha Pappenheim - an Orthodox Jewish woman who founded the Jewish women's movement in Germany in the early 20th century, was one of the founders of Jewish social services, worked against the trafficking in women as sex slaves, etc.
Thanks Rebecca. I will read up on her.
This is a very nice topic for a post. I don't see a lot of posts on Jewish women, esp. Orthodox ones.
