Local Girl Scout and lifelong library user -- and seriously, she was coming to storytime before she was born! -- Emily R. has shared her Girl Scout Silver Award project with us, so that we can share it with you! The interactive website Emily created aims to educate young people about the important and varied contributions that Jewish women have made throughout history.
Emily notes, "With the spike of antisemitic attacks across the world, I want to inform people that Jews are just like any other people in the world!" In addition, she says, "I would like to inspire all girls to be proud of their heritage and to take action when they see an issue they care about."
As well as a page about each of the women Emily included and a slideshow that introduces them all, you can also click on Activities and Resources to find a crossword puzzle and word search, or click on Kahoots to find a Kahoot game about each woman.

And thank you, Emily, for sharing your knowledge and inspiration with the community!
