Today, the 26th of Adar, was Sarah Shenirer's 85th

Today, the 26th of Adar, was Sarah Shenirer's 85th yartzeit. We remain inspired by her passion for studying Torah and bringing Torah to as many Jewish women as possible.
We leave you with this quote, from Em BeYisrael, Part I pp. 39-40: "It is not in the power of secular studies to quench the flame of the Jewish soul, which only learning of Torah study has the capacity to satisfy. Secular studies are to the soul as gold to the body. Can gold satisfy physical hunger? Never!… A Jewish soul will not be satisfied from secular studies. Only sacred studies will satisfy its hunger, for only its Creator can know what nourishes it. I highly doubt that there is any student as happy, at times, to the extent that I am happy when I read our sacred texts."
(After we learned that she requested that her photo not be published, we replaced it with a drawing, as was her preference.)
