BBC News: Germany to ordain 'first' rabbis

QUOTE
A group of rabbis is being ordained in Germany for the first time since World War II and the destruction by the Nazis of its Jewish seminaries.

More than 100,000 Jews now live in Germany but there is a dearth of rabbis - there are only around 25 of them serving 100 congregations. [...]The last seminary, the Berlin-based College of Jewish Studies, was destroyed by the Nazis in 1942.
