She’s soooo nice. When my mom had a medical emergency, she was so kind to my mom and so helpful - as a *volunteer* EMT. No idea how she finds the time and energy. Blows my mind.
Alot of Jewish woman have big families do all the cooking and have full time jobs and make shabbos every week .. that is like making Thanksgiving every week....yes Jewish religious woman are super heroes... especially this one with a really impressive job
Sandra as a producer. She is multi dimensional. So every actor has to be a carbon copy of the role they portray? That's funny. "Is Sandra Jewish?" Ok, I'll play along. "Not sure" and it doesn't matter whether it's yes or no."
So she's beautiful inside out, very smart and looks younger than 52. She worked hard and deserves all the success she desires. She truly is a superwoman.
"Rejecting jobs outside the home"??? I lived in NYC for the better part of a decade and saw scores of Hasidic women working downtown everyday. And I was told many of their husbands did not work, but studied the Talmud/Torah full-time. Was I lied to?
No. I am an orthodox Jew, not Hasidic. What you are seeing are women who work while their husbands "learn". They are mostly secretaries. This woman is talking about higher education which is something that those women will not aspire to because they work AND raise children. That is their role, so this woman is an anomaly. And I am soooo proud of her. She is awesome and powerful. A real feminist unlike the fake feminists we see in the secular world.
Atara W. A real feminist would value the work of traditional mothers and secretaries as well. Aspiring only to traditionally male roles and their presumed authority doesn't make all people equal.
Atara please don't use the word "learn" in quotations. Most men who are learning Torah all day are doing just that! I know one in particular who walked in the snow last week to go learn in yeshiva. Please don't spew such hateful falsehoods.
B T Really? I didn’t realize you’re faith made you age well. I have a Jewish mother and a Christian father. I guess I should change my religious beliefs so I age better.
No it’s not. It’s a religion. It’s not an ethnicity. I’m fulled blooded German. I can’t decide to be Italian, Greek, or Irish. I’m a Baptist, but I could wake up tomorrow and choose to be Jewish, Catholic, or Buddhist. My grandmother was born Catholic and converted to marry my grandfather. People truly have no clue of the difference between religion and ethnicity. That’s truly sad. And yes, I do know for a fact I’m right. I’ll be glad to let you borrow my genetics text book.
Mary Therese McCool it's quite modern in a sense even though it's traditional for the men to study the Torah and wives to support household financially-
I was the first Orthodox Jew in my Bank in my state... I was the only one wearing a kippah.. Jews would come into the bank, and they couldn't believe their eyes!
This is how most Jewish women are raised - to be a whirling dervish, accomplishing many tasks at once by watching their mothers do this. Not just multitasking but allways on overdrive and on top of this, for the religious woman, making a dinner party for her family and guests every Friday night for the Shabbat meal!
That's totally not true most orthodox women work outside the home usually not high profile jobs but many run their own companies my wife is a professional and I'm a Talmid teacher of high level orthodox boys
"...Typically rejecting jobs outside the home". This is ignorance and deliberate sensationalism. Any Chassidic woman has the option to work outside the home. However, the home is the first priority of a Chasidic woman and therefore many women wait until their kids are older to work full time. However, even if one has little kids, if it works out for them then they'll work outside the home. There are tens of thousands of Chasidic women and girls who graduated school and are working outside their homes.
It was shocking to me, too, that NBC's Today Show & Megyn both seem to be completely ignorant to the fact that for decades observant Jewish women have been involved outside of their homes in the workforce. The Judge quashed that by simply stating that it's become more accepted. I loved that simple, true response that psychologically disarmed the negative connotation in (I don't know the word for it) but it was done in a soft manner. I loved it. At first I thought, why doesn't she destroy that notion. Then I said to myself, wait, why destroy it & make Megyn look foolish for asking about something many people believe because they honestly don't know anything about observant Jews. Her answer was perfect.
Chai Fried and may I add, have degrees in various fields...are businesswoman, real estate agents, etc etc. The skys the limit to their talents ( brains and creativity, as well!)
The reality is that this woman comes from a starkly different society than many of us. I say different, not traditional or old-fashioned, intentionally. We live in a world where women must be the exact same as men. We fight for rights like equal pay and in which the ideal is women and men equally represented in all professions. Nothing is wrong with that. But there is another story. Men and women are created differently, no matter how much we protest. There is simply different plumbing and wiring between the two sexes. We can protest and deny this fact, but it still exists. The judge, Rochie Freier, comes from the latter camp. She believes that family, and the continuation of humankind, is the future. It is family first, career second. And there is nothing wrong with that. Instead of pushing her to change her world views, and to throw her kids and grandkids into the backseat of her life, why not encourage her husband (and all men) to also have the same worldview. The modern feminist movement is obsessed with women being equal to men. Equality isn't always about having the exact same things, but about respect for one another. When she talks about her husband allowing her to run for office, it's not a matter of being submissive to her husband's will. Rather, she is in an equal and loving relationship where each spouse respects one another. If a man were to run for office, he would most certainly need his wife's permission to do so. If he runs, despite her abject disapproval, then they are not in an equal, loving, and respectful relationship. Certainly, the inverse would apply. If she ran without his approval, then she is disrespecting her spouse. There is room for both camps to exist in this world. Certainly, no young girl should be told that they cannot pursue their passion at a young age because that's "men's work". Feminists fight for this right and make great strides in gaining respect for women in the world. However, if a woman does choose the traditional route, or to consult her husband, it does not make her less of a woman.
What an example to all women out there....in spite of many “obstacles” and what people thought of her, she managed to do what she wanted and grow to her full potential without compromising her values.
Megyn Kelly made a factual error; Hasidic women are not discouraged from working outside of the home! In fact in most Hasidic households, women are the breadwinners, because men are studying the Torah. In Burough Park Brooklyn, most of the shops are owned and operated by Hassidic women. The thing is most stay to themselves and don't run for public office or anything outside of their community.
Megyn Kelly keeps reframing the conversation to paint Hasidic people in a bad light, putting emphasis on how unusual she is, and asking if her husband tried to stop her. Plenty of Hasidic people are highly educated and working in serious positions- both men and women.
The reason I ask is that my Co-worker is Hasidic, and she is not allowed to have a TV in the home. School rules, her kids could be kicked out of school if she gets a TV.
Men Really think God only Blesses them. It's sad that women in America has to fight so hard to Achieve Achieve thier Dreams But I'm Glad God is not like man He loves and Blesses all his Children.
When religions have good principles that protect people whether in the public or private sphere, I have nothing against them provided people adhere to them and it results in happy, safe, loving, healthy, caring and long lasting family. Otherwise it is best to stay out. What we need today is to return to good living principles and stick to them .. the problems otherwise are far too great to ignore such good safe healthy living principles.
No matter how conservative the culture, when it comes to women bringing in money and relieving men from having to provide financially suddenly there is flexibility and agreement
Lol her husband is in mortgages and most chassidic men are in BIG business. Refreshing though that in a world where men are jealous of their wives.....in the Jewish community nobody cares who makes more money. It's not a thing bec it's not what proves Jewish worth.
Vincent Cuttolo I think you’re missing the point. The whole reason she’s on the show is because it’s NOT the norm for a Hasidic wife to be in positions of power like this because it’s not allowed by their partners or frowned upon due to their religion/culture which has strict gender roles.
Josh stop. What you’re doing is pure propaganda. Don’t just take one word she said from this whole interview. She means the support coming from her husband. How he went around getting signatures. So chill there ye?
See, Gentiles have NEVER read the Talmud and they depend on that. No one could read the Talmud, knowing that she lives her life , based on it, and let her Judge people who her religion says are Animals.
The women are just ultra capable and make much use of cleaning help as well so they can wear a couple of hats....some bec they need to many bec they choose to.
Because in a marriage, one should ask their spouse if it is okay to spend tons of money on Law school, be out of the house most of the day, and perhaps, not even be there for dinner when he comes home. And if Mr. Freir had wanted to be a criminal court judge, I should expect it would be the humane thing for him to do as well, to ask his wife permission to take such a major life step.
Bella Simba it's her faith, she knew about this and other in Judaism since she could read, it's really beautiful how Hasidic and other Jewish women are beautiful, they have been building a relationship with G-d all their lives, quite beautiful, I admire this about Jewish people- Sending love ❤️ Biãnca
Bella Simba, very true. she also doesn't shake hands with men. I expect a judge to be a modern person who believes in the achievements of the secular world, not someone who lives by rules and morales from a couple thousand years ago.
@@bellebirodker6392 LOL OBVIOUSLY. Also, Traditional fall into the same category as secular. I think you're better off saying secular or religious/ Religious or no religious... LOL.. Secular jews are simply Jews that aren't religious..Ie, Traditional jews
So Mrs. Freier, what are you going to do when you have to judge a Jew contrary to the rules of the Torah? You will pay for all of the innocent people you put away.
Ok it is a woman, nothing new. The thing is that all that hasidic promotion ain't good for her job. Suppose she has a muslim law offender ( pretty serious stuff) standing against her. Does that end automatically in an higher appeal or miscontent? Are her rulings overcast with her religious background? That could. In my eyes her relgious background and the promotion for it will work against her in her profession at a certain point. The law, strictly taken, is a set of rules set by the entire society , loose from any religious conviction. A judge judges according to his conscience and honour. Not according the leading hand of God in the hasidic community. With that I do not say that her conscience ain't right or rightful. I only say that her hasidic background could compromise the outcome of her rulings one day. It is very easy to find black sheep. Anyways I am also proud of her.
@@michellelansky4490 a judge hunny applies the law. Nothing more nothing less. There is no such thing as a superjudge. Super means supra or standing above. At best there is a supreme court standing above other courts. In judging your philosopical social religious background plays a role no? Or is this supra judge also standing above that?
@@michellelansky4490 this reflects for a 100 per cent that jews estimate themselves above the world population. Go toIsrael and see how ;ews treat other people. By bye
Dima Andro i had a jewish circumcision. I can tell you, i dont remember a thing. And certainly with jewish women but in america, most non-jewish prefer it as well. Trust me, i more than have a casual knowledge.
I'm bothered by anyone who accepts notoriety and attention "for being more special or better than other people based on their religion or status as a woman". A judge needs to be impartial not thinking differently about anyone based on their religion or even lack of religion, impartial to their nationality, impartial to being male or female, & impartial to family roles. Because she has allowed herself this media attention and brags about her status shows her partiality and this isn't beautiful to me it is a red flag that she will be partial and deal more favorably with hassidic people in court. Her religion only for it's cultural beliefs than torah truths if fully understood is highly prejudicial and extreme and doesn't represent our society at all. Even Jewish people are not welcome or accepted in the "community" or able to marry a Hassidic Jew without being excommunicated. This is the extreme prejudism about which I speak. I can't aplaud her but only warn others she will prefer her kind due to the extreme pressure and control of her community; many of whom have financially contributed to her success for a reason. In the Hassidic world the pressure to conform & to be controlled always comes with severe consequences such as your children not being allowed in good schools or to marry in the community to be unable to see or communicate with your family etc.... I speak of the consequences of excommunication. When she will volluntarily leave Hassidic life to a more liberal faith where she is free, I could try to believe in her.
Why does she have this weird accent? She doesn't even sound American. It's great that she's a judge despite her religion, that limits women (even though she says otherwise). It's sad though that she is "traditional" in her personal life.
Miss Bumblebee Do you say the same thing to Americans who have a Jamaican accent? Or a Spanish or Italian accent? You are just a racist go back to your hole.
J, it sounds like you're assuming non-whites can't also be racist, or you wouldn't have assumed that youtoomf assumed that the OP is white when s/he accused him/her of racism. That assumption is itself racist. You made that assumption. Therefore, you are also a racist. (You also seem to like double-spacing after each sentence. Why do you do this?) In any case, Judge Freier has no accent that I can hear. Of course I also grew up in Brooklyn, where everyone sounds like this.
Hey the reason she has an accent is that Hassidic communities speak in Yiddish ( Generally, it's their mother tongue) and English is a sencond language. Why do you think it's sad that she's traditional. You can see what an amazing mother she is, how much she gives to her children, grandchildren, and her entire community! Her traditions are what makes her into who she is :) Just like you probably celebrate Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years. Jews Celebrate Shabbat as a family every single week!
You answered your question directed at me in your post. Why not be a trailblazer in her personal life, too? I found it utterly concerning when she seriously (in 2017!) praised her husband for allowing her to run for public office.
Miss Bumblebee What exactly concerns you? In 2017 if living in a good marriage built on love, affection, and common goals, a spouse getting approval from their spouse for life decisions, should be the norm. It’s about communication between the spouses. Understand what she’s saying on a deeper level. Don’t be so literal. This is not about getting permission as much as getting approval. If my wife disapproves of something I wanna do, I don’t do it. This has nothing to do with religion or tradition. This is about marriage.
She’s soooo nice. When my mom had a medical emergency, she was so kind to my mom and so helpful - as a *volunteer* EMT. No idea how she finds the time and energy. Blows my mind.
It has nothing to do with energy. She and her husband are corrupt demons.
Incredibly inspiring Hasidic woman. I'm floored.
I love seeing people of faith finding success w/o feeling that they've had to compromise their values!
Alot of Jewish woman have big families do all the cooking and have full time jobs and make shabbos every week .. that is like making Thanksgiving every week....yes Jewish religious woman are super heroes... especially this one with a really impressive job

What an amazing story. Many Hasidic men study Torah all day and their wives work to support their families.
Mary Therese McCool That is true in some cases but that's the minority.
Not everyone is the type to learn all day and most households today need two incomes. Those who learn all day and have kids are the minority.
And you call yourself a Catholic ?

This is how most Jewish women are raised - to be a whirling dervish, accomplishing many tasks at once by watching their mothers do this.

This is what some people don't understand about marriage. Well said.
Nothin hassidic here
so I met a Jewish judge.... I walk in, and she see's me wearing a Yarmulke.. Let's just say she waved all the charges ☺️
Not all Jews are Hasidic or religious, most of them traditional and secular
@@bellebirodker6392 LOL OBVIOUSLY. Also, Traditional fall into the same category as secular. I think you're better off saying secular or religious/ Religious or no religious... LOL.. Secular jews are simply Jews that aren't religious..Ie, Traditional jews
Thought hasidics weren't supposed to go to school
Followers do go to school like everyone else. Do not make us fools
So Mrs. Freier, what are you going to do when you have to judge a Jew contrary to the rules of the Torah? You will pay for all of the innocent people you put away.
I guess you know nothing about Judaism!
Seems to me shed consult a competent rabbinic figure and see if she has to recuse herself from the case......DUH!
Megyn Kelly has not done her homework - Hasidic woman have to work because their husbands are occupied with religious studies!
Not true majority works
It's not true stop being ignorant
Some do some don't. Some work bec they want to. Some work bec they need to. Some don't need to or want to so don't!
one second i thought that or anyway youtube videos show that hassidic women are abused, married off at 15 etc. so what's this???
That's a lie. Do not listen to anything you see on the Internet!
Ok it is a woman, nothing new. The thing is that all that hasidic promotion ain't good for her job. Suppose she has a muslim law offender ( pretty serious stuff) standing against her. Does that end automatically in an higher appeal or miscontent? Are her rulings overcast with her religious background? That could. In my eyes her relgious background and the promotion for it will work against her in her profession at a certain point. The law, strictly taken, is a set of rules set by the entire society , loose from any religious conviction. A judge judges according to his conscience and honour. Not according the leading hand of God in the hasidic community. With that I do not say that her conscience ain't right or rightful. I only say that her hasidic background could compromise the outcome of her rulings one day. It is very easy to find black sheep. Anyways I am also proud of her.
Your point is well taken though. Don't know why so much emphasis on her being a Jewish judge as opposed to a judge that just happens to be Jewish.
@@michellelansky4490 wow wow wow you are pouring a bucket of ice water over my beautiful head in the early morning. Good morning.
@@michellelansky4490 a judge hunny applies the law. Nothing more nothing less. There is no such thing as a superjudge. Super means supra or standing above. At best there is a supreme court standing above other courts. In judging your philosopical social religious background plays a role no? Or is this supra judge also standing above that?
@@michellelansky4490 this reflects for a 100 per cent that jews estimate themselves above the world population. Go toIsrael and see how ;ews treat other people. By bye
@@michellelansky4490 in fact there is only one culture that has a clear and sain morality and that are the Germans.
It's so upsetting to see people mutilate their baby boys
Dima Andro it seems like your brain has been mutilated
Dima Andro i had a jewish circumcision. I can tell you, i dont remember a thing. And certainly with jewish women but in america, most non-jewish prefer it as well. Trust me, i more than have a casual knowledge.
Are corrupting ??? We do not corrupt we cut the umbilical cord. know why? For medical reasons! Sad to see ignorant people like you
I'm bothered by anyone who accepts notoriety and attention "for being more special or better than other people based on their religion or status as a woman".
A judge needs to be impartial not thinking differently about anyone based on their religion or even lack of religion, impartial to their nationality, impartial to being male or female, & impartial to family roles.
Because she has allowed herself this media attention and brags about her status shows her partiality and this isn't beautiful to me it is a red flag that she will be partial and deal more favorably with hassidic people in court. Her religion only for it's cultural beliefs than torah truths if fully understood is highly prejudicial and extreme and doesn't represent our society at all.
Even Jewish people are not welcome or accepted in the "community" or able to marry a Hassidic Jew without being excommunicated. This is the extreme prejudism about which I speak. I can't aplaud her but only warn others she will prefer her kind due to the extreme pressure and control of her community; many of whom have financially contributed to her success for a reason. In the Hassidic world the pressure to conform & to be controlled always comes with severe consequences such as your children not being allowed in good schools or to marry in the community to be unable to see or communicate with your family etc.... I speak of the consequences of excommunication.
When she will volluntarily leave Hassidic life to a more liberal faith where she is free, I could try to believe in her.
Why does she have this weird accent? She doesn't even sound American.
It's great that she's a judge despite her religion, that limits women (even though she says otherwise). It's sad though that she is "traditional" in her personal life.
Miss Bumblebee Do you say the same thing to Americans who have a Jamaican accent? Or a Spanish or Italian accent? You are just a racist go back to your hole.
J, it sounds like you're assuming non-whites can't also be racist, or you wouldn't have assumed that youtoomf assumed that the OP is white when s/he accused him/her of racism. That assumption is itself racist. You made that assumption. Therefore, you are also a racist. (You also seem to like double-spacing after each sentence. Why do you do this?)
In any case, Judge Freier has no accent that I can hear. Of course I also grew up in Brooklyn, where everyone sounds like this.
Hey the reason she has an accent is that Hassidic communities speak in Yiddish ( Generally, it's their mother tongue) and English is a sencond language. Why do you think it's sad that she's traditional. You can see what an amazing mother she is, how much she gives to her children, grandchildren, and her entire community! Her traditions are what makes her into who she is :) Just like you probably celebrate Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years. Jews Celebrate Shabbat as a family every single week!
You answered your question directed at me in your post. Why not be a trailblazer in her personal life, too?
I found it utterly concerning when she seriously (in 2017!) praised her husband for allowing her to run for public office.
Miss Bumblebee What exactly concerns you? In 2017 if living in a good marriage built on love, affection, and common goals, a spouse getting approval from their spouse for life decisions, should be the norm. It’s about communication between the spouses. Understand what she’s saying on a deeper level. Don’t be so literal. This is not about getting permission as much as getting approval. If my wife disapproves of something I wanna do, I don’t do it. This has nothing to do with religion or tradition. This is about marriage.
