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. They discuss Amaichai's journey from a lineage of a 38-generation esteemed rabbinic dynasty, to becoming a drag performer, radical storyteller, and groundbreaking rabbi. His life has been a bold negotiation between tradition and transformation. His journey is one of self-discovery, rebellion, and ultimately, reinvention. Through humor and heartbreak, Amichai reflects on the detours that shaped him and the power of storytelling as spiritual activism, humanism and empathy in times of crisis, and reimagining tradition.
