Regina Jonas (reference article)

This is Wikipedia's article on Regina Jonas, generally recognized as the first woman ordained as a rabbi, in Germany in 1935. As a perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication, it is a reasonable source for standard, uncontroversial biographical facts about her life, ordination and death at Auschwitz, but not the source to rely on for a contested or specialist claim about the theological reception of her ordination. Cite it for the ordinary biographical facts it states. This description is adapted from Wikipedia contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0; changes were made. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
