Osnat and Her Dove

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.
