Before Sally Priesand was known as the first female rabbi, Regina Jonas had petitioned and was granted her rabbinic ordination in Berlin in 1935 by the Liberal Rabbis’ Association. Years later, Jonas was forced into a concentration camp where she worked with psychologist Viktor Frankl to provide emotional support to other prisoners, wrote “Lectures of the One and Only Woman Rabbi, Regina Jonas”, and eventually died in 1944. Join us as we learn about this pioneer and explore a selection of the writing she left behind.
