Filmed over 21 years, “Sabbath Queen” follows Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie’s journey as the heir of 38 generations of Orthodox rabbis who is torn between accepting his ancestral destiny or becoming a drag queen rebel. In addition to his drag persona, Lau-Lavie is a queer bio-dad and the founder of Lab/Shul: an everybody-friendly, God-optional, artist-driven, pop-up experimental congregation. With incredible access, award-winning director Sandi DuBowski joins Rabbi Amichai on a life journey and cinematic quest to creatively and radically reinvent religion while challenging gender norms in a rapidly changing 21st century.
Preceded by a drag performance by Jean Sequins and followed by a conversation with director Sandi DuBowski and film subject Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie, moderated by Idit Klein, president & CEO of Keshet.
