Regina Jonas - Woman Rabbi
Elke R. Steiner
The first woman to be ordained as a Rabbi, a teacher and scholar of the jewish religion, was the Regina Jonas in Berlin 1935.
Because of Nazi persecution, many rabbis emigrated or were expelled, and many small communities were without rabbinical support. This might have been the main reason for her ordination, for which she had fought since years.
Regina Jonas
was murdered in Auschwitz 1944.
