SUMMARY:Sabbath Queen: The Documentary Screening & Talkback
DESCRIPTION:Sabbath Queen: The Documentary\nScreening & Talkback\nThursday\, June 5th\n6:30pm EST\nNYC\n\n\nSABBATH QUEEN\, a feature documentary filmed over 21 years\, 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. 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. \nSabbath Queen is now in 65 film festivals\, 50 cinemas\, received a New York Times Critic’s Pick and was named one of the New York Times’ favorite films of the 21st century\, and has won 8 awards including Boston Jewish Film Festival’s Audience Award for Best Documentary and UK Jewish Film Festival’s Best Documentary. \nThe screening will be followed by a talkback with Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie and Sandi DuBowski. \nA $10 suggested donation enables us to present programs like this one. \n\n\nRegister >>

SUMMARY:Sabbath Queen: The Documentary Screening & Q+A (MOMI)
DESCRIPTION:Sabbath Queen: The Documentary\nScreening & Q+A\nFriday\, June 20th\n6:30pm EST\nNYC\n\n\nFeaturing a Q&A with director Sandi DuBowski moderated by filmmaker Danielle Durchslag  \nDir. Sandi DuBowski. 2025\, 105 mins. U.S. DCP. Shot over the course of 21 years\, Sandi DuBowski’s documentary follows Amichai Lau-Lavie\, an Israeli descended from an unbroken line of 38 rabbis stretching back a thousand years. Newly arrived in New York in the late 1990s\, Lau-Lavie is a deeply curious and wildly creative young gay man using performance art to challenge patriarchal orthodoxy. A captivating camera subject\, Lau-Lavie performs in drag as the widow Rebbetz in Hadassah Gross\, who represents the wisdom of the divine feminine. Nevertheless\, Lau-Lavie shocks his community when he decides to become a rabbi himself\, in the Conservative tradition of Judaism. Powerful\, funny\, and beautifully shot\, Sabbath Queen confronts complex questions about the embodiment of contemporary Judaism.   \nTickets: $17.50 / $12 senior and students / $10 youth (ages 3–17) / free for MoMI members at the Senior/Student level and above. There is a $1.50 transaction fee per ticket for all online purchases. The cost of admission may be applied toward a same-day purchase of a membership.  \nOrder tickets. Please pick up tickets at the Museum’s admissions desk upon arrival. All seating is general admission.  \n\nRegister >>
