'Sabbath Queen'

Sabbath Queen, produced and directed by Sandi DuBowski, a feature documentary filmed over 21 years that follows Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie's epic journey as the dynastic heir of 38 generations of Orthodox rabbis including the Chief Rabbis of Israel. He is torn between rejecting and embracing his destiny and 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. Sponsored by Ohavi Zedek Synagogue, Temple Sinai, University of VT College of Arts and Sciences, and Hillel at UVM.
