Osnat and Her Dove: The True Story of the World's First Female Rabbi

Osnat was born five hundred years ago--at a time when almost everyone believed in miracles, but very few believed that girls should learn to read. Yet Osnat's father was a great scholar whose house was filled with books. And she convinced him to teach her. Then she in turn grew up to teach others, becoming a wise scholar in her own right, the world's first female rabbi Some say Osnat performed miracles--like healing a dove who had been shot by a hunter Or saving a congregation from fire But perhaps her greatest feat was to be a light of inspiration for other girls and boys, to show that any person who can learn might find a path that none have walked before.
