A Tribute to Womanhood

Welcome to "I Am Woman"...a tribute to all those women who had the courage and perseverance to stand up and fight for their rights. Thanks to those who came before us we enjoy a freedom unknown to women not too long ago. But, sadly, in many parts of the world, women continue to be repressed. In fact, even in this country there are women living today under the threat of violence...completely controlled by a violent spouse. Some may make it; others won't. Hopefully, one day ALL women will be free. May that day come soon.

Jewish Prayer





In the rising of the sun and in its going down 
we remember them.

In the blowing of the wind, and the calm of its stillness, 
we remember them.

In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, 
we remember them.

In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer, 
we remember them.

In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn, 
we remember them.

In the midpoint of the year, and as its beginning and end, 
we remember them.

When we are weary and in need of strength, 
we remember them.

When we are lost and sick at heart, 
we remember them.

When we have joys we yearn to share, 
we remember them.

So long as we live, they too shall live, 
for they are now part of us, 
we remember them.
