In the premiere episode of Detours and Destinations, Rabbi David Ingber talks with Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie, the visionary spiritual leader and founder of LabShul, and the subject of the documentary Sabbath Queen about the journey from a lineage of a 38-generation esteemed rabbinic dynasty, to becoming a drag performer, radical storyteller, and groundbreaking rabbi. Amichai’s life has been a bold negotiation between tradition and transformation. His journey is one of self-discovery, rebellion, and ultimately, reinvention.
