MTOC, The Neustadt JAAMM Festival, and Mizel Arts and Culture Center Proudly Present a one-night-only screening and talkback featuring the multi-award-winning Sabbath Queen!
About the Film:
Sandi DuBowski’s epic documentary Sabbath Queen—shot over the span of twenty-one years—follows Amichai Lau-Lavie, an Israeli descended from an unbroken line of thirty-eight rabbis stretching back a thousand years. The film explores Lau-Lavie’s journey from radical drag queen to influential Rabbi of a God-optional, artist-driven New York synagogue. Stimulating and moving, DuBowski’s film ends with Rabbi Lau-Lavie’s words as he evokes the challenge of our lifetime: “How do we reimagine our sacred traditions to achieve peace?”
Doors Open at 6 p.m., Film at 6:30 • Snack Concessions Available for Purchase/Donation
