Welcome to the world, you come from a strong rabbinic family, with both your father and mother, Bezalel and Reizel Schenirer, descending from well-known rabbinic families in the Belzer Chassidic community. You love Judaism and are eager to study, but at a young age you learn that only boys get to go to Jewish schools. You watch your brothers go off to cheder and then yeshiva and envy the formal education they are getting.
