Inspired by the lawsuits filed in Florida challenging the state's abortion ban on the basis of religious freedom, Director Paula Eiselt's UNDER G-D is a documentary short film about the national Jewish response to the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization U.S. Supreme Court decision woven through the lived experiences of impacted Jewish women and the various lawsuits currently being launched by rabbis, Jewish organizations and interfaith leaders to challenge the overturning of Roe v. Wade, state by state. Through the lens of maintaining the separation between church and state, these nationwide efforts are predicated on ultimately protecting religious freedom – and democracy – for all. UNDER G-D weaves together the stories of a Jewish mother and activist in Indiana, a rabbi in Florida and lawyers throughout the country who are seeking to fight abortion bans in part by placing them in the legal and cultural context of religious freedom. In an ironic twist, the very laws that might support this work are the Religious Freedom Restoration Acts (RFRAs), which have thus far been used to allow faith believers to make an end-run around civil rights protections, as in the notorious Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. or gay wedding cake cases at the U.S. Supreme Court. UNDER G-D introduces us to characters that are now flipping the very script used so effectively by Christian nationalists. Director Paula Eiselt (Aftershock, 93Queen) joins us to talk about the gathering momentum that these recent public protests and cases, as well as the work of Jewish leaders around the country are taking to protect women, and protect democracy, by preserving the constitutionally enshrined separation of church and state.  For more go to: paulaeiselt.com/under-g_d

A Spectacular Evening with the Honorable Rachel Freier With New York City Criminal Court Judge The First Chasidic Jewish Woman to Hold Public Office in the U.S. (Recorded live in Atlanta on October 19, 2021) She has been named one of the 50 most influential Jewish women in the world. She personifies strong leadership without compromising her Jewish values. Meet the Honorable Judge Rachel (Ruchie) Freier, the first Chasidic Jewish woman to hold public office in United States history. Rachel Freier is a celebrated New York City Criminal Court judge and one of the founders of Ezras Nashim, an all-female Jewish volunteer E.M.T. ambulance service in Brooklyn that has challenged her community's conception of the role women can play in public and professional life. She has been the subject of numerous features in The New York Times and was featured in the acclaimed documentary 93Queen. She is a sought-after speaker, and we are privileged to host her.

Director Paula Eiselt talks about the experience of making 93 Queen, how she used the "hurdles" of being an observant woman as her strengths, and how creating the movie helped her realize the importance of making changes from within the Hasidic world.

This week we are reviewing Ellen Degeneres’s new special Relatable, new Acorn series Blood, the new Julia Roberts-starring film Ben is Back, the documentary 93Queen, and Hulu’s series of Horror movies, Into the Dark.

The documentary 93Queen tells the story of Judge Ruchie Freier and her all-women ambulance corps, an unlikely story of women's empowerment coming from an even more unlikely quarter: the hasidim of Brooklyn. Chochmat Nashim sits down with the film's creator, Paula Eiselt, to talk about the hurdles and downright nastiness the women overcame, as well as what it means to enter the hasidic world with a video camera.

This week, Uri tells Rivky about his new favorite movie: 93Queen. Then they dive into the insane story of Professor Avital Ronell and the sexual harassment investigation brought against her by her former graduate student, Nimrod Reitman. The story is made even more upsetting by a letter signed by dozens of leading intellectuals and academics, supporting Dr. Ronell. Rivky and Uri ask, what should we focus on??? Are their identities - queer, Israeli, academic - important? What does this “reverse” #MeToo moment teach us about power? How much does identity politics play a role? Read all about it here: 1.

When I started college at New York University in 1990, nobody lived in Brooklyn. Brooklyn was the dark side of the moon. At least that’s how we NYU students thought about it. Lots of people lived in Brooklyn, of course. Just not us. It’s 2018, and Brooklyn has become an international brand, synonymous with artisanal pickles, gastropubs, and luxury condos. It’s the place even former NYU students can’t afford to live anymore. But in a couple of Brooklyn neighborhoods, people are still dressing and living in many ways like it’s the 18th century, and adhering to laws that date back centuries, even millennia earlier. I’m talking about Hasidic Judaism, and particularly, today, about Borough Park, Brooklyn, where this community thrives. And even more particularly about one woman—Rachel “Ruchie” Frier—who, in spite of being religiously observant as most humans would define it has nonetheless become a thorn in the side of the more conservative elements of this already deeply conservative community. The all-female volunteer ambulance corps she started was a radical move for Borough Park, and it’s the subject of 93Queen, a new documentary by Paula Eiselt.
