<b>Trembling Before God: the lives of Orthodox and Hassidic Gay &
Lesbian Jews</b>
<br>
<br>
<big>Trembling Before G-d 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. In the film we meet a range of
complex individuals: the world's first openly gay Orthodox rabbi;
closeted, married Hasidic gays and lesbians; Orthodox lesbian
high-school sweethearts; and individuals abandoned by religious
families. Trembling is more than a film; it's become a movement.<br>
Followed by Film Talk! w/ Gabriel Blau, founder of The God &
Sexuality Conference and author of <i>Two Truths: Living as a
Religious
Gay Jew</i>.</big><br>
