I wonder if the issue is as much finding good pictures as much as finding good role models. There are so many incredible women of this and the past generation. Why don't you start by finding people who's lives speak to you?

Anyway back to the point, I really really don't need a debate and you're welcome to take it to "issues," but if anyone has links to where I can download or buy wall-worthy photographs of inspirational Jewish women I'm still looking.

I don’t think this is accurate. They were very different women with different agendas. Both accomplished a lot and should be respected but very different.

You don't need to. It's not a must. But IMHO people do hang pics of gdolei hador because they value them.
"*behind* a successful man stands a great woman" and that's a secular and probably non-jewish saying.
Do you have an issue with that?

good point! not behind--opposite Wink

Yes. I named three for whom I couldn't find good pictures, and therefore I'm looking for more ideas of people to be inspired by. Female people of recent enough history to have good pictures.

Just thought of Mrs. Lubling whose chessed is legendary. Will see if I can find a picture.

If you can find a picture that could be blown up to 8x10 I'd be grateful. All I could turn up online was small and grainy.

Rebbetzin Chaya Sara Kramer of "Holy Woman".

Edited to add: here's a photo of her online https://aish.com/48938712/

Alta Feiga Teitelbaum Satmar Rebbetzin.
She was a very special person in her own merit and was a pioneer of many chessed projects, big and small. She personally went to clean houses and bring food to women in need. She had a special feeling for postpartum moms, maybe due to the fact that she herself was infertile.

You don’t have to be satmar to gain inspiration by her.

Bonus point, she was actually very pleasant looking and there’s supposed to be a beautiful photo of her, though a couldn’t find it online with a quick Google search.

So your saying there were no great women, only wives behind their men?
And no, its only certain communities that dont show women in pictures (or magazines) not all frum women.

How about having an artist paint a picture for you? Or look through Jewish art, maybe there is a painting of someone who you would connect with.

OP I have thought of this before. Maybe to hang in my daughters' bedroom. Here is one of Rebbetzin Bruriah David a"h with her father Rav Hutner z"l. This is the only decent one I've found of her.

This is a colorized version; if you prefer black and white you can google her name and you'll find it.

I couldn't find any. Maybe there are some in her biography book? https://www.amazon.com/Rebbetz.....52496

Also this site has a great archive of BY movement early photos: https://thebaisyaakovproject.r.....o.ca/

The quality is not great, as these are old pictures. A collage maybe?

Not even close. But sure, make assumptions.

This post is harassment. If you have a gripe with a poster, bring it up in dm or with a mod. Doesn’t belong on this thread.

Keep on making assumptions. You posted as amother because you know you are being BEYOND rude.
And I say thank you to whomever reported your reply.
And I think you are reading WAY toooo deeply into my replies because what you write is just not how it is.
