Summary / Abstract:

ENWith the establishment of the Lithuanian state in the interwar period, an accelerated secularization process took place among its Jewish residents. In this atmosphere, a "Beit-Yakov" women’s organization arose in Lithuania, intending to bring Jewish women back to religion by studying basic books in Judaism and applying these studies in their lives. Soon, "Beit-Yakov" evolved into an active organization that instilled in its members a belief in their ability not only to establish their homes on the foundations of religion but also to change the direction of the development of the Lithuanian Jewry from secularization towards a return to tradition. Keywords: Lithuanian Beit-Yakov organization, Beit-Yakov study associations, Lithuanian Jewry, Lithuanian Tiferet-Bachurim movement, secularization process, return to Jewish tradition.
