Beth Jakob, Lehrerinnen-Bildungsanstalt in Wien, Vienna, ca. 1927
Publication of the Beth Jacob religious girls schools' system, Vienna, with photograph of the school building.
The schooling system for girls "Beth Jakob" was established in the beginning of the 20th century, Ms. Sarah Shnierer started in Krakow a Charedi school by the name of Beit Ya'akov". This school became a mass movement. [This was a novelty based on halachic ruling by the "Chafetz Chaim", stating that the prohibition to teach women Torah and Talmud does not apply to our generation]. In the document herewith it says that "Beit Ya'akov" has about 200 schools in Poland, Rumania, Yoguslavia, Lithuania, Vienna, Paris and London.
