  • Frieda is a Star!

    Thank you, Frieda, for continuing to create and share about this community. Your long form interviews are really well done and I always look forward to a new one dropping. I grew up in a city with no ‘visible’ Jewish community (Brisbane, Australia) and only encountered the Hasidic community in Melbourne, which had/has one of the highest percentages of Holocaust survivors after Israel and New York, I think.

    I particularly love the respect with which you treat your subjects, and your attitude to ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hasidic women fight to form a female EMS | Paula Eiselt
Q: What do you think Hasidic men come off in this documentary?
I think I tried to show a spectrum of Hasidic men. Hatzalah is critical because they were excluding women, which needs critique, but they also do a lot of amazing things.
Hasidic women fight to form a female EMS | Paula Eiselt
Q: How did you get to know Ruhi?
I was reading an online news site years ago and I saw this article about a group of women who wanted to join Hatzalah... so I decided to call Ruhi and that started the whole process.
Hasidic women fight to form a female EMS | Paula Eiselt
Q: What do you want to say to introduce Ruhi, who comes across as a bundle of energy in the documentary?
Ruhi is the definition of a trailblazer, right? She's going to create paths where there weren't paths, and she's literally going to blaze through them no matter what.
Hasidic women fight to form a female EMS | Paula Eiselt
Q: How about you share a little bit about who you are?
I grew up on Long Island in the five towns, and I went to Jewish day school.
Hasidic women fight to form a female EMS | Paula Eiselt
Q: What would you say or add to that to describe the documentary?
It's really important for me to tell it from within.
