The story

What Is Sabbath Queen About?

The premise of Sabbath Queen without spoilers.

Filmed over two decades, this documentary chronicles Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie’s complex path as the heir to a lineage of 38 generations of Orthodox rabbis, including Chief Rabbis of Israel. Struggling with his identity and heritage, he ultimately rejects and reimagines his destiny, becoming a drag-queen performer, a queer father, and the founder of Lab/Shul, a welcoming and inclusive community.
