Sarah Schenirer (Polish: Sara Szenirer; Yiddish: שרה שנירר; July 15, 1883[1] - March 1, 1935 (yartzeit 26 Adar I 5695) was a Polish-Jewish schoolteacher who became a pioneer of Jewish education
for girls.
Schenirer is best known for beginning a change in the way women were perceived in Orthodox Judaism.[2] In 1917, she founded an afternoon school in her apartment that was later used as a model by the Agudath Yisrael in its Bais Yaakov (lit., "House of Jacob") school network in Poland, with worldwide lasting effect.[3]
