Sabbath Queen

Sandi DuBowski / United States / 2024 / 104 min

As the heir to a rabbinic lineage that spans thirty-eight generations, including the Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Amichai grapples with tradition and rebellion. He becomes a drag queen and queer father, founding Lab/Shul in New York—an inclusive interfaith community. The film captures Amichai’s search for a contemporary Judaism that questions patriarchy, celebrates interfaith love, and advocates for peace. A provocative, loving, unique documentary about faith, identity, and the courage to change.
