On #ThisDayInHistory in 1935, #RegineJonas (also #ReginaJonas) became the first woman ordained a #rabbi. From a religious family, she wrote a thesis on the #Halachic basis for ordaining women, but it took five years to find someone to do it. She was killed at #Auschwitz in 1944.

There’s been a lot of interest (likes and reposts) in my recent brief post about the birth, rabbinical ordination, and Auschwitz death of Regina Jonas. Maybe people would be interested in seeing her photograph, taken from the Jewish Women’s Archive site:
