Sabbath Queen Film Screening and Q&A

At this screening of Sabbath Queen, we will be joined by the film’s director and producer, Sandi DuBowski, and the star of the film, Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie. Following the screening there will be an hour-long Q&A between DuBowski, Lau-Lavie, and the audience. Filmed over 21 years, Sabbath Queen follows Lau-Lavie, the heir to 38 generations of Orthodox rabbis, as he navigates his legacy while becoming a drag performer, queer father, and founder of Lab/Shul. This film captures Rabbi Amichai on a journey to rethink Jewish ritual, challenge patriarchy, support interfaith connection, and explore what Jewish survival means in the 21st century.
