About This Item
Vilna, 1925. Stiff Wrapper. Good-. 89 pp In Hebrew . covers worn and soiled a bit, She married Yitzhak Rubinstein, who subsequently became Chief Rabbi of Vilna - the first in over 200 years - and she was heavily involved in Vilna community affairs and was an ardent Zionist. This is in contrast to her father who compared Zionists to "the Berlin group . . . of maskilim."[9] She was also very learned and R. Weinberg provides that when her father couldn't remember a source, he would ask Ester who could always provide it. Ester was also involved in woman's issues. She started a girls school in Vilna and wrote why woman's suffrage is allowed under Jewish law.(Seforimblog)Ester died young, at age 43, in 1924. A Sefer Zikhron was published in her honor and, among others, R. Weinberg wrote a beautiful article describing Ester in the most honorific terms. An English translation was published by Dr. Leiman. Additionally, a memorial service was held in the Great Synagogue of Vilna, according to Leiman, "this was the only woman ever accorded this honor."
