Institute History
Description
Rabbi follows Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie’s epic 15-year journey from drag-queen rebel to rabbinical student to spiritual innovator as he creatively and radically reinvents religion and ritual for the 21st century. Lau-Lavie is the founder of Lab/Shul, an everybody-friendly, God-optional, artist-driven, pop-up congregation. A queer feminist interfaith-marrying renegade, Lau-Lavie is a descendant of 39 generations of Orthodox rabbis, including Israel’s chief rabbis. Full of surprising, profound, and hilarious twists, this powerful story is deeply old and radically new. Rabbi is a journey seeking the answers to life’s ultimate questions and wrestles with what it means to be human right now.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
