Beys Yankev
subject · http://data.judaicalink.org/data/ep/1655210
The Agudas Yisroel network of schools for girls. The first Beys Yankev school was established in Kraków in 1917 by Sarah Schenirer, who sought to fight the spread of secularization and acculturation among Orthodox women—who until then had received no formal Jewish education. The institution, which achieved great success, was supported by Orthodox public figures and was adopted in 1919 by Agudas Yisroel. In 1922, Agudas Yisroel in Poland began to publish a Beys Yankev journal, which spread the idea of establishing girls’ schools to form a national network.
