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.

It's lovely to find that Deracheha ~ an initiative of Yeshivat Har Etzion ~ is posting online their free 'Parent-Daughter #BatMitzvah Guide,' based on "the #halachic presumption (chazaka) that the young person has developed the appropriate signs of maturity..."
