Adina Ben Chorin

The Bible is populated with innumerable male figures, from patriarchs to prophets to kings and warriors and holy men and wise men and simple men, named and unnamed.

But what about the women? Their numbers are much more limited. Even so, do we know who they are? Are some of us, men and women alike, named after them? Were our mothers or grandmothers named after them? Do we know their story? Maybe there are some surprises in store. Did you know that Devora is a bee! And that the Rabbis hold it against her?

Come and share your information and learn more about our ancestresses in the process. You may well be surprised.
