SUMMARY:A Conversation with Sigal Samuel\, Author of Osnat and Her Dove: Th
 e True Story of the World’s First Female Rabbi
DESCRIPTION:Join AES for a discussion with author Sigal Samuel\nSigal Samue
 l and Vali Mintzi's warm and respectful picture book&nbsp\;Osnat and Her D
 ove: The True Story of the World's First Female Rabbi reveals the training
  and influence of a 17th-century woman who defied convention. At a time wh
 en women were expected to tend only to domestic duties\, Osnat Barzani ins
 tead embraced the secrets of the Torah. Curious Osnat\, trained in her fat
 her's yeshiva\, found that each answer she learned from the Torah's words 
 "gave rise to seven new questions in her mind." Eventually\, Osnat became 
 a teacher (with a pet dove by her side)\, then rose to prominence as the y
 eshiva's leader--the first female in history to hold that role. Seemingly 
 supernatural incidents\, like the healing of her wounded dove\, brought fo
 llowers to her door: "The sick\, the poor\, the heartbroken--all believed 
 she had the power to heal them." Her wisdom and abilities to educate and p
 otentially heal cemented Osnat in local legend.\n\n***Books have been orde
