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!
