Gila Rapoport and Lieba Abecassis, sisters and founders of the Jewish Women Series

Our story

It started with a random Tuesday.

It was a random Tuesday when Gila had the idea to create the Jewish Women Series™. While reading a children’s book about Amelia Earhart to her daughter, Serafina, she wondered how meaningful it would be to have a book just like it, but with powerful stories of Jewish women who were the light and change the world needed. Gila shared her idea with her sister, Lieba, a writer, and together they brought it to life.

The Jewish Women Series™ is a passion project born from a desire to share goosebump-inducing Jewish children’s stories that inspire children to feel proud of who they are and empowered in their life’s journey. With every page turned, Gila and Lieba hope to spark courage, curiosity, and connection, reminding young readers that even the smallest light can brighten the world.
