Pride Film Screening: SABBATH QUEEN

Post-screening Q&A with Director Sandi DuBowski
Co-Presented by Twin Cities Jewish Film Festival and J-Pride

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. 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. Director Sandi DuBowski (TREMBLING BEFORE G-D) spent 21 years following 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, ceasefire, and an end to the Occupation in Israel/Palestine. The film explores what Jewish survival means in a difficult rapidly changing 21st century.
