Pioneer. Survivor. Protagonist, finally.
Barbara Ostfeld is the first woman in all of Jewish history to be ordained a cantor. She has inspired two generations of women, and men, throughout her very public career. But in private, she struggled for years to overcome traumas faced by far too many women and girls. Now, as an author, speaker, and mental health advocate, she helps people empower themselves to claim the lead role in their own stories too.
