While the smash-hit musical follows the lead character’s search for her father, in real life ABBA singer Frida didn’t know of her father’s existence until she skyrocketed to fame in her 30s.
Her father was actually a Nazi, and she was actually conceived as part of Hitler’s program to propagate the Aryan race.
Her shocking story, brought to you by The Jewish Channel.

SATAN: yeaaaa
RabbiGadol: I was kidding. I never meet anyone through the internet.
RabbiGadol: I know there are support groups for Jews who are closet atheists.
Rebbe: and even in that context, i was just teasing. If I come out, my life would be over in an important sense
Rebbe: where are these groups?
Rebbe: I am happy for someone to prove me wrong, i even yearn for someone to prove me wrong, but all theevidence that I see shows that god is just a myth
SATAN: ill buy that
RabbiGadol: I’m sure many practicing Jews agree with much of what you say here
Rebbe: check out the "greatest jews" in our time, a bunch of self loving pigs. see. satmar bobv, ponevetch etc.

Rebbe: going back to ur hitler comment, i would bet that yes
SATAN: i like religion it causes so many wars
I’ve been very busy for the past few months and haven’t been able to follow every major story. However, I knew something had happened about a Mr. Golubchuk in Canada, who was very sick and the medical establishment wanted to cease treating him despite his still being very much alive. I recently came across an essay about this by Jonathan Rosenblum (link) and was surprised to learn that almost no Jewish organization had risen to defend Mr. Golubchuk, with the notable exception of Agudath Israel of America. According to Rosenblum:
Click here to read more
Dr. Zacharowicz, who initially entered the case at the urging of Agudath Israel of America, denied the claim of the Winnipeg doctors that Mr. Golubchuk was in any significant pain from any of the treatments being rendered, and noted that his medical charts show no evidence of significant pain management…
Despite the obvious importance of these issues to all Torah Jews, there was no well-organized campaign to aid the Golubchuk family. The Golubchuk children were forced to rely on the services of a dedicated solo practitioner, whose primary expertise is in criminal law, against the hospital’s team of corporate attorneys, and have been left to bear the immense legal expenses alone. (Agudath Israel of America was in the process of arranging pro bono research assistance from a major firm at the time of Mr. Golubchuk’s passing.) Nor was there any organized effort to counter the hospital’s media blitz.
Can it be that the entire Jewish community of the US and Canada were as busy as I was and therefore did not follow the story or intervene in any way? I found that hard to believe so I investigated a little and learned that Rosenblum’s account is very misleading (and that is a generous evaluation). Someone who followed this situation closely wrote to me that Rosenblum’s account is "patently untrue".
It turns out that this issue generated a good deal of defense and assistance from the Jewish and general community. However, for PR reasons, the defenders of Mr. Golubchuk (which included both Jewish and Christian organizations) chose to frame this issue as one of human rights rather than Jewish rights. Additionally, there was a conscious effort to keep the public activity Canadian, with advisors from the US remaining deep in the background. This was all part of an organized strategy to achieve the best results (which unfortunately did not come about because of Mr. Golubchuk’s passing).
In fact, many rabbis and organizations were attempting to assist and advise the Golubchuk family. There were a number of PR efforts (see, for example, this Op-Ed by R. Reuven Bulka in the (Toronto) Globe and Mail: link 1, link 2) and Canadian communal leaders were closely monitoring the situation, even if they didn’t agree with every one of Dr. Zacharowicz’s (or the Golubchuk family’s) conclusions.
Just because a family is in a distressful situation does not mean that they have the final word on what is an appropriate reaction to every article or action related to the subject. It is truly sad if they feel that their father was not adequately defended. However, that should not lead others to reach the same conclusion without objectively evaluating all of the effort that was expended in this matter.

She writes in the Jewish Journal:
What applies to acting also applies to dating.
For instance, if I meet a really good-looking and charming guy at a party whom I want to impress, I go into acting mode. I ask myself: How should I behave? Should I walk up to him and say "Hi"? Should I stand there nonchalantly and wait for him to make the first move?
When I e-mail him, I overthink the timing and wording of the letter. I become a playwright. Should I think of a creative subject line or keep it casual? Should I open it with "Hey" or "Hi"? And how should I sign it? With "Best regards"? With just my first initial?
I know I’m really infatuated in a bad way when I actually think of implementing the advice of that lame book "The Rules," such as: "Don’t stare at men or talk too much" or "Don’t call him or rarely return his calls" or "Don’t accept a Saturday night date after Wednesday."
Then, if we go out on a date, I try to be, or at least act, put together, cool, perfect. I don’t allow myself to become vulnerable. I don’t honestly share my likes and dislikes, my strengths and insecurities. I worry too much about what the guy wants to hear rather than what I truly want to say. In short, I’m not myself. I’m acting.
Contrast this behavior with a guy I’d consider only as a friend. I can chat it up with him for hours and talk about whatever concerns me, without worrying about what he thinks of me. I write whatever I feel like in an e-mail without proofreading it 10 times. I complain about my day, my problems, my hopes, my dreams. Strangely, my guy "friends" are those who end up falling in love with me.
I think it’s because when I’m myself with the opposite sex, I create real moments — the Oscar-worthy moments that light up a screen or a stage because the audience sees the real character — her pain, joy, uncertainty, triumph. I let go of the script and show what’s between the lines — and what’s inside my heart.
So I’m learning to change my approach — not only in acting class, but in the real-life drama of my dating life. I think part of the challenge is finding the right "scene" partner — the supporting male who can bring out my true character, who doesn’t make me feel the need to read from a script or follow rules.
Maybe by learning to be more natural and hence creating authentic moments not only stage, but also over coffee or dinner with the men I date, I’ll earn my real Oscar — a shining golden man to take home.
The reason that Orit’s guy friends fall in love with her isn’t because she’s natural but because she breathes. Any guy who doesn’t fall in love with Orit, that I don’t understand.
Of all the many bizarre elements of hostage exchange approved this week by the Israeli cabinet by a vote of 22-3, the most bizarre was that Israel negotiated as if did not matter whether Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev are dead or alive. Hizbullah never provided any information concerning the condition of its two captives and did not permit any international body access to them. Thus Israel allowed itself to be placed in the position of negotiating without even knowing what it was negotiating about.
The negative implications of this approach for the future are obvious. By entering into negotiations in such circumstances, Israel lowered the standard for treatment of its POWs. Israel should instead have attempted to raise an international outcry against Hizbullah’s violation of all accepted international standards for the treatment of prisoners. In the likely event that Hizbullah showed itself immune to international pressure – something at which its excels – then Israel’s next move should have been to show that two can play this game with prisoners, and cut off all communications between Palestinian prisoners and their families.
When the Confederacy started to kill captured blacks fighting for the Union Army, President Abraham Lincoln threatened to reciprocate against Confederate prisoners. And that was the end of the matter.
The principal justification offered for the release of Samir Kuntar, an unrepentant murderer of four Israeli citizens, who has vowed to return to the battle against Israel as soon as he is released, is that IDF morale depends on soldiers knowing that everything will be done to bring them back if captured.
But it is far from clear how relevant that consideration is with respect to the return of dead bodies. At least one petition of reservists called upon the government not to offer anything in return for the bodies of any of the signatories. Moreover, it is hard to believe IDF morale will be improved by a negotiating strategy that will have the inevitable effect of removing all incentives for the proper treatment of Israeli POWs.
Worse, by treating the bodies of Israeli soldiers as valuable bargaining chips, the Israeli government has removed one of the primary incentives for captors of IDF soldiers to keep them alive. Not exactly a major morale booster.
Nor do the negative consequences of the hostage exchange end there. Israel has enhanced Hizbullah’s status in Lebanon. Nasrallah can now crow that he succeeded in doing what no one thought possible – forcing Israel to return a vicious murderer, who shot a father in the head in front of his young daughter, bashed the girl to death with the butt of his rifle, and caused the terrified wife and mother to inadvertently suffocate her infant as she hid.
The precedent of releasing murderers whose hands are dripping blood further lowers the deterrence factor against terrorists. Once terrorists knew that if captured they would spend the rest of their life rotting in an Israeli jail. No longer.

Zevulun writes:
According to a Letter by Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba, a Snitch, a ‘Moser’, who causes a Jewish persons arrest, Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba letter proposes that he may be executed, (Killed) literally by Jewish Vigilante Executioners, according to Halacha, Rabbi Osdoba says. Rabbi Osdoba letter is in Hebrew but that’s what he is implying in his letter, indirectly. Now Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba (one of two elected Rabbi’s of the community) is between a Rock and a Hard Place because his prior Halachic Rulling to execute a Snitch could backfire on Rabbi Osdoba now, since currently his own son Rabbi Y. Osdoba is the Snitch which caused the Ezagui Arrest.
No bail after fugitive developer busted, charged in massive condo scam
BY JOHN MARZULLI AND WILLIAM SHERMAN
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS
Wednesday, July 16th 2008, 4:00 AM
A Brooklyn developer accused of swindling some 40 Crown Heights families out of millions was ordered held without bail Tuesday night after returning from his Israel hideout.
Eliyahu Ezagui, 47, pocketed $15 million in mortgages on condos he sold to families living in two buildings he developed in the Brooklyn neighborhood. Authorities said it was the biggest local case of subprime mortgage fraud on record.
All the families are Hasidic, like Ezagui, and face eviction because Ezagui stopped making payments on the buildings at 770 Lefferts Ave. and 613 East New York Ave. He obtained the mortgages because he kept the apartments’ deeds, rather than turning them over to buyers.
Ezagui fled to Israel late last year after his scheme started unraveling and was arrested on a warrant Sunday at Kennedy Airport.
Federal Magistrate Marilyn Go rejected bail backed by a building owned by Ezagui’s brother Solomon after prosecutor Jonathan Green argued Ezagui was a flight risk, entering The News articles as evidence.
Meanwhile, tenants facing eviction, most of whom knew Ezagui, had mixed emotions about his arrest. Jeff Minsky, who lives at 613 East New York Ave., said, "He has a wife and children, and I don’t like to see anyone like that go to jail, but he did something that is getting us thrown out after he had chances to fix it. He has the money."
Robert Tolchin, lawyer for 17 tenant families facing eviction, said litigation with mortgage lending banks and Ezagui is continuing in Brooklyn Civil Court. Numerous foreclosure notices have been served, but no tenants have been evicted.
"Ezagui passed up many chances to straighten out this mess. The law finally caught up with him," Tolchin said.
In April, Ezagui told The News he was bankrupt, that he had tried develop the buildings properly and transfer the deeds to the tenants, but ran out of money.
In a telephone interview from Israel, Ezagui said he obtained the mortgages, including 13 in his mother’s name, to pay off more than $3.3 million in loans he took out to finance construction of the buildings.
"I’m bankrupt. I hurt my parents, my family and I destroyed everything," Ezagui told The News.
