Q&A WITH EXECUTIVE PRODUCER ADRIAN SALPETER WILL ACCOMPANY SCREENING.

* World Premiere: Tribeca Film Festival 2024 *

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. He is torn between rejecting and embracing his destiny and becomes a drag-queen rebel, a queer father, and the founder of Lab/Shul – an everybody-friendly, God-optional, artist-driven, pop-up experimental congregation.

SABBATH QUEEN 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 film interrogates what Jewish survival means in a difficult rapidly changing 21st century.

FILM KINDLY SPONSORED BY CHELSEA SNOW, ROD OLIN, AND CHRISTOPER HEALY.

SUPPORTING SPONSOR TERRY CAVANAGH.
