Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie – From Rebellion to Rabbinate
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.Lab/Shul - https://www.labshul.org/Sabbath Queen: The Documentary - https://www.labshul.org/sabbath-queen-the-documentary/The Sha-Book - https://shop.ayinpress.org/products/shabook-zine?srsltid=AfmBOoqlC7XKhMzto2uePDWnCiYV6T2vPsujQ0jqqzKYKnXOG2uWuaq-Amichai's Website -- https://amichai.me/Rabbi Ingber on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rabbiingber92NY Bronfman Center events -https://www.92ny.org/whats-on/events/jewish-life-adults?hierarchicalMenu%5BEventMenu.lvl0%5D%5B0%5D=Jewish%20Interest&refinementList%5B10b_dd_AgeYears%5D%5B0%5D=adults

The echo of those words continues to resonate and inspire today. Can we reframe obstacles as opportunities? How do we recognize when a stumbling block truly is a stairway?
In this new podcast, Rabbi Ingber sits down with thought leaders, changemakers, and spiritual seekers, for heart-centered conversations about the winding paths we take, and the insights gleaned along the way. These are conversations about resilience, transformation, the beauty and messiness of being human — a touchstone for listeners seeking wisdom in perilous times.
