Sabbath Queen Film Screening and Q&A

Sabbath Queen is a provocative and awe-inspiring film about an Orthodox Israeli who embraces his queerness, moves to NYC, joins the radical fairies, becomes a drag queen and a rabbi, and uses drag and other theatrical practices toward his progressive activism on a number of fronts within and beyond the Jewish world. It’s also a fascinating window into the complexity, diversity, and porousness of contemporary American Jewish life. See Prof. Moskowitz’s review of the film in the most recent issue of AJS Perspectives: https://www.associationforjewishstudies.org/publications-research/ajs-perspectives
