I just finished reading this wonderful book, The Chicken Lady of Jerusalem: A Life of Giving -
The Remarkable Story of Clara Hammer 1910-2010. I met her, but did not really get to know her. Now, through the book, I got to know her. What a lady!
Her idealism, her remaining frum when most of those around her did not, her passion, her strength of character, her love for Jews, for Eretz Yisrael, and for life, her exuberance. A teacher and a doer. She wasn't one to sigh over an unfortunate situation; she did something about it.
A short video interview of her: here
