Maiden of Ludmir

Chana Rochel Werbermacher was a remarkable child, imbued with a love of Torah and a fervent desire to learn. Her destiny beckoned, and she became a scholar-and the focus of great controversy in the shtetl of Ludomir and the Jewish community at large. Many sought her advice. They called her "Rebbe," for that is what she was. The story of her struggle, her courage, and her life will be an inspiration for generations to come. You will not forget her.
