Falmouth Jewish Congregation will present a screening celebrating Pride Month on Tuesday, June 17, at 7 PM. The screening, “Sabbath Queen,” is a New York Times Critic’s Pick documentary about a prominent rabbi who breaks all boundaries.

Filmed over 21 years, “Sabbath Queen” follows Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie’s epic journey as the dynastic heir of 38 generations of Orthodox rabbis (including the Chief Rabbis of Israel) who is torn between rejecting and embracing his ancestral destiny and becomes a drag queen rebel, founder of Storahtelling (dramatic reading of Torah–the Hebrew Bible), a queer bio-dad and the founder of Lab/Shul—an everybody-friendly, God-optional, artist-driven, pop-up experimental congregation in Manhattan. With access to his subject over the course of decades, award-winning director Sandi DuBowski joins the rabbi on his lifelong quest to creatively and radically reinvent religion and ritual while challenging gender norms, patriarchy and supremacy. “Sabbath Queen” asks what Jewish survival means in a difficult, rapidly-changing 21st century and how to engage an ancient religion with fresh, creative energy.
