Bruria David

Bruria David, (born 1936) daughter of Rabbi Yitzchok Hutner (rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin) and is the current dean of Beth Jacob Jerusalem (commonly known as BJJ), a prestigious Haredi religious girls seminary located in Jerusalem, Israel. Known as "Rebbetzin" David, she was on one of the planes, along with her husband and parents, which were hijacked by the Black September terrorists in 1970.

Dr. David received her doctorate in history from Columbia University in 1971. Her dissertation dealt with "The dual role of Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Chajes: Traditionalist and Maskil". Her dissertation demonstrates a thorough mastery of the source material, and deals with Rabbi Chajes's relationships both in the world of Haskalah as well as in the traditional world of Orthodox Judaism. She is notable as a Haredi woman scholar.

She is married to Rabbi Yonasan David who is the rosh yeshiva ("dean") of Yeshiva Pachad Yitzchok in the Har Nof section in Jerusalem. Rabbi Yonasan David also serves as the rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin together with Rabbi Aaron Schechter.
