Trembling Before G-D
Dir. Sandi Simcha DuBowski US 2001
Trembling Before G-D deals with gay Orthodox and Hasidic Jews who try to keep their faith even though the Torah specifically expresses abhorrence to homosexuality. The subjects interviewed include Steven Green-berg, the first openly gay Orthodox rabbi who runs a support group for Orthodox gay men; a lesbian couple who wish that they could celebrate Passover with their families; British Mark who tries to juggle orthodoxy and drag, and "Devorah", an Israeli Orthodox wife who speaks of her hidden Lesbian identity. Many of those interviewed are shot in silhouette to conceal their identities. The question remains: why do people feel the need to be accepted into a culture that is hostile to their nature? (84m)
