This feature documentary 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, a pop-up experimental congregation. Sabbath Queen joins Amichai as he reinvents religion and ritual, challenges patriarchy and supremacy, champions interfaith love, and stands up for peace and an end to the Occupation in Israel/Palestine.
