Join Ma’alot and Congregation Beit Haverim for a showing of Sabbath Queen as part of the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival!
About the film: A daring, deeply personal odyssey unfurls as an Orthodox rabbi forges a groundbreaking path as a queer father, drag queen, and spiritual leader. Amichai Lau-Lavie, scion of a storied Ashkenazi rabbinic dynasty, grapples with the weight of ancestral expectations while launching a bold new vision of faith and identity. Torn between tradition and transformation, he reinvents himself as both a subversive artist and founder of Lab/Shul, an experimental, inclusive congregation reimagining ancient rituals for a modern world. Spanning two decades, this Tribeca Best Documentary nominee unfolds through vérité footage, archival material, and candid interviews, to offer an intimate view of Lau-Lavie’s struggles, triumphs, and the profound intersections of identity, gender, and spirituality.
