in Ha'aretz.
What is interesting is that the Maid seems to have been 'adopted' by a female rabbi, who is the one who raised the money for Hannah Rochel Verbemacher's headstone.
Right at the end of the article, Rabbi Kagan acknowledges that were the Maid of Ludmir alive today, as a haredi woman, she may not have approved of Kagan's 'journey.' The fact is, there is no real record of what the Maid of Ludmir actually preached or believed in; What Rabbi Kagan seemingly fails to appreciate is that, were the Maid of Ludmir alive today, she, Rabbi Kagan, may not have approved of the Maid, either.
