Book & Author: “A Revolution in the Name of Tradition: Sarah Schenirer and the Bais Yaakov Movement”

Jewish society was threatened by assimilation and modernity, educating an entire generation of girls to take an active part in their community. The movement grew at an astonishing pace and continues to flourish throughout the Jewish diaspora.

Join Dr. Naomi Seidman as she explores the Bais Yaakov movement through the tensions that characterized it, capturing its complexity as a revolution in the name of tradition. She will present the context which led to its founding; the movement’s history from its foundation through its near destruction during the Holocaust; examine the impacts of socialism, feminism, Zionism, and Polish electoral politics; and its role in the reconstruction of Orthodoxy.
