Rachel “Ruchie” Freier, a no-nonsense lawyer and mother of six, attempts to break her community’s glass ceiling by creating the first all-female EMT service in the city—risking her reputation and future in the process. With unprecedented access to this highly “Rachel Freier is riveting and secluded community, and a non-judgmental perspective on their so is her cause.” – NOW Magazine lifestyle, 93Queen shatters stereotypes and teaches an important lesson: It’s from within that conservative societies can change.

OPENS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12 Studio 54 D: Matt Tyrnauer | 2018 | USA | 98 min Step inside New York’s most legendary nightclub and learn the true story behind Studio 54. Opened in the late 1970s by Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, two friends from Brooklyn, this exclusive hotspot became the city’s ground zero for disco, drugs and debauchery before closing down after only three years. A wild space that welcomed queer culture at a time of rampant homophobia and made headlines with its celebrity guestlists, Studio 54 came to symbolize an entire era. Director Matt Tyrnauer (Citizen Jane) peels away the myth and reveals the ins and outs of the club’s short lifespan and lasting legacy. “Thrilling and definitive documentary about the fabled disco haven.” – Variety OPENS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13 Immaculate Memories: The Uncluttered Worlds of Christopher Pratt D: Kenneth J.

  • 1 Davidson College Presbyterian Church Davidson, North Carolina
    1 Davidson College Presbyterian Church Davidson, North Carolina Scott Kenefake, Interim Pastor “Women to the Rescue” Judges 4:1-7 November 19, 2017 Just before the Jewish High Holy Days this fall, Judge Rachel Freier was rushing around her kitchen, as she perpetually is. She had just cooked a salmon dish for Sabbath dinner. She was talking to her daughter in Israel on her headset. She was at a countertop, cutting apples and wrapping tuna salad sandwiches to take to work, because at night court in Brooklyn, where she presides, there’s little to eat that’s kosher. Stepping outside her townhouse in Borough Park, Brooklyn, she climbed into her purple and white minivan emblazoned with the emblems of the female volunteer emergency medical service she founded in her ultra- Orthodox Jewish community. A trained paramedic, she keeps her medical bags in her vehicle, just in case. “My car is like my second home,” she said. This is Ruchie Freier, as friends call her, a 52-year-old Hasidic Jewish grandmother who has blazed a trail in her insular religious community with so much determination that the male authorities have simply had to make room. Eleven years ago, she became one of the first Hasidic female lawyers in Brooklyn, and last November, she was elected as a judge to civil court, making her almost certainly the first female Hasidic elected official in the country. She has done so not by breaking the strict religious rules that govern ultra-Orthodox women’s lives, but by obeying them so scrupulously that there are limited grounds for objection.
