Heroines of the Bible
In our course, “Heroines of the Bible: Her Story – My Story”, we will explore the struggles and challenges, the celebration and redemption, of six key personalities who are central figures in the history of the Jewish people. Empowered by their uniquely feminine qualities and prophetic vision, they inspired not only the women of their respective generations, but also the people as a whole, to identify with their personal mission and spiritual purpose. Today, living in our modern world, we too can connect with these great women, and by tapping into their stories we can attain personal fulfillment and success within our very own stories.

Lesson 2: Devorah
Prophetess Under a Palm Tree – A Vision and a Song
In the early years of settling the land of Israel, lacking the leadership and patriotism to triumph in war, every man fended for himself, oblivious to the needs of the community. Until one leader arose, a visionary woman, who inspired the people to identify with a national mission and spiritual purpose. A source of strength in a time of war, a leader who communicated direction through poetic song, Devorah the Prophetess succeeded in calling a nation to action.
