Summary:

Trembling Before G-d is a groundbreaking documentary that challenges assumptions about faith, sexuality, and religious tradition. Through intimate personal stories, the film follows gay and lesbian Hasidic and Orthodox Jews struggling to reconcile their deep love of Judaism with Biblical prohibitions against homosexuality. From the world’s first openly gay Orthodox rabbi to closeted, married Hasidic individuals and Orthodox lesbian couples, their experiences reveal pain, resilience, humor, and profound faith. Shot over five years across multiple cities worldwide, the film captures a historic moment as this once-silenced issue becomes a public debate, offering a fearless, compassionate testament to belief, identity, and the universal need to belong.
