Post-show discussion with Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie, director Sandi DuBowski and Pastor Vince Brackett from the Brown Line Church.

Filmed over 21 years, Sabbath Queen follows Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie’s epic journey as the dynastic heir of 38 generations of Orthodox rabbis including the Chief Rabbis of Israel. Torn between rejecting and embracing his destiny, he becomes a drag-queen rebel, a queer bio-dad and the founder of Lab/Shul—an everybody-friendly, God-optional, artist-driven, pop-up experimental congregation.

The film joins Amichai on a lifelong quest to creatively and radically reinvent religion and ritual, challenge patriarchy and supremacy, champion interfaith love, and stand up for peace, the ceasefire, and an end to the Occupation in Israel/Palestine. The film interrogates what Jewish survival means in a difficult and rapidly changing 21st Century. “Fascinating” (New York Times “Critics Pick”).
