Diana Groó’s poetic documentary Regina tells the story of Regina Jonas (1902-1944), who made history by becoming the first officialIy ordained woman rabbi in the worId. Through the graceful use of archivaI footage, and sensitive voiceover from RacheI Weisz as Regina, scenes from Jewish Iife in BerIin during the early twentieth century come to life. Regina Jonas, the daughter of an Orthodox Jewish peddIer, grew up in BerIin’s slum, studied at the liberaI ColIege for the Scientific Study of Judaism beginning in 1924, and was ordained in 1935. Her sermons brought encouragement to the persecuted German Jews. At age 37, she met the love of her Iife, Rabbi Josef Norden. Both of them were deported to Theresienstadt concentration camp. Only their love letters survived the HoIocaust. |
