(Photo by Alan Smason)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Following stops on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, the rabbi appeared Tuesday night for a screening of &#8220;Sabbath Queen,&nbsp; a 21-year-old documentary that chronicles his journey from a drag queen to an ordained Conservative rabbi. He appeared with the director of the film Sandi DuBrowski at Tulane University&#8217;s Freeman Auditorium as a guest of the Jewish Studies Department.<\/p>\n<p>Department chair Golan Moskowitz&nbsp; served as the host and moderator of a talkback session with students, faculty and members of the public who saw the film early in the evening.<\/p>\n<p>Both Rabbi Lau-Lavie and DuBrowski planned on spending Shabbat with Tulane students at the Goldie and Morris Mintz Hillel Student Center tonight. The film will be shown once again there at 8 p.m. tonight.<\/p>\n<p>The film depicts Lau-Lavie first as a young Israeli man who identified as a member of the&nbsp; LGBTQ community. It spoke to his seeking spirituality in unusual ways and noted his close family ties, among them his father and mother, who were Holocaust surivors, and his brother, who also eventually became a rabbi.<\/p>\n<p>Like all the members of the family, his uncle, who was saved by Lau-Lavie&#8217;s father on multiple occasions during the Holocaust, settled in Israel and went on to become the Chief Ashkenazic Rabbi of Israel from 1993 to 2003. Lau-Lavie&#8217;s cousin David was also the Chief Sephardic Rabbi in Israel.<\/p>\n<div id=\"envira-gallery-wrap-96424\" class=\"envira-gallery-wrap envira-gallery-theme-base envira-lightbox-theme-base\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\">\n<div data-row-height=\"150\" data-gallery-theme=\"normal\" id=\"envira-gallery-96424\" class=\"envira-gallery-public envira-gallery-justified-public envira-gallery-0-columns envira-clear enviratope envira-gallery-css-animations\" data-envira-columns=\"0\">\n<div id=\"envira-gallery-item-96425\" class=\"envira-gallery-item enviratope-item envira-gallery-item-1 envira-lazy-load\" style=\"padding-left: 5px;
