📖 Acerca de Jael
Jael es un nombre femenino hebreo, variante ortográfica de Yael, que significa "cabra montesa" o "ascender". Es famoso sobre todo como el nombre de la audaz heroína bíblica del Libro de los Jueces, que mató al general cananeo Sísara, un acto celebrado en el "Cántico de Débora", uno de los textos poéticos más antiguos de la Biblia hebrea. Favorecido durante mucho tiempo en las comunidades judías y protestantes por su espíritu fiero e independiente, Jael ha experimentado un renacimiento moderno en Israel y en las comunidades francófonas. Entre sus portadoras notables se encuentran la medallista olímpica Yael Arad y la cantante Yael Naim.
