The Leo Baeck Institute London would like to welcome you to another free online screening at the LBI Film Club. We hope that all the film lovers among you will continue to enjoy our selection of interesting and thought-provoking films linked to the immensely rich, diverse and multi-faceted Jewish experience and will relish this latest offering in our LBI Film Club programme:
Regina (2013) is a documentary on Regina Jonas (1902–1944) who became the first properly ordained woman rabbi in the world in 1935 whilst working in Berlin. Regina’s sermons and dedication brought encouragement to persecuted German Jews, before both she and Rabbi Josef Norden (the love of her life), were deported to Theresienstadt concentration camp by the Nazis.
Diana Groó’s poetic documentary Regina (2013) based on a single photograph as a primary visual source tells the story of Regina Jonas, the world’s first woman rabbi. The film won the Lia Award at the Jerusalem International Film Festival (2013) and the Warsaw Phoenix Award of Jewish Motifs International Film Festival (2014).
