Official Selection, 2024 Tribeca Festival

Filmed over 21 years, this documentary follows Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie’s epic journey as the dynastic heir of thirty-eight generations of Orthodox rabbis. 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, G-d-optional, artists-driven, pop-up experimental congregation. The film joins Rabbi Amichai on a lifelong and cinematic quest to creatively and radically reinvent religion, ritual, and love for a challenging, rapidly changing twenty-first century.
