Abstract
ABSTRACT While the revival of the Torah world among Jewish men after the Holocaust has been studied, the reconstruction of Orthodox Jewish women’s society has been given short shrift. This study focuses on Bais Yaakov teachers and their reverence towards their teacher, Sarah Schenirer (1883–1935). Particularly after the Holocaust, Schenirer’s legacy became a central concept in rebuilding a social, religious, and educational framework for Ultraorthodox Jewish women. In many ways, the memory of Sarah Schenirer, taken by Ultraorthodox society as representing the entire Jewish world of interwar Europe, served to some extent as a substitute for Holocaust memory.
