>Trembling Before G-d is an unprecedented feature documentary that shatters 
>assumptions
>about faith, sexuality, and religious fundamentalism. Built around 
>intimately-told
>personal stories of Hasidic and Orthodox Jews who are gay or lesbian, the 
>film portrays a
>group of people who face a profound dilemma-how to reconcile their 
>passionate love of
>Judaism and the Divine with the drastic Biblical prohibitions that forbid 
>homosexuality.
>
>As the film unfolds, we meet a range of complex individuals-some hidden, 
>some out-from the
>world's first openly gay Orthodox rabbi to closeted, married Hasidic gays 
>and lesbians to
>those abandoned by religious families to Orthodox lesbian high-school 
>sweethearts.
>

>Discussion with Rabbi Julie Greenberg following the film
>
>Rabbi Greenberg serves congregation Leyv Ha-Ir-Heart of the City in 
>Philadelphia. She has
>a private counseling practice called Counseling with Soul and is the 
>mother of five
>children. In 1980 she founded a summer camp for the children of gay and 
>lesbian families,
>Mountain Meadow Country Experience. Greenberg is a Reconstructionist Rabbi 
>with strong
>ties to Jewish Renewal work.
