American documentary film about gay and lesbian Orthodox Jews trying to
reconcile their sexuality with their faith. It was directed by Sandi Simcha
DuBowski , an American who wanted to compare Orthodox Jewish attitudes to
homosexuality with his own upbringing as a gay Conservative Jew . The film
received ten award nominations, winning seven, including Best Documentary
awards at the 2001 Berlin and Chicago film festivals. However, some criticized
the film as showing a one-sided view of Orthodox Judaism's response to
homosexuality. These include South African Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein as
well as Agudah spokesperson Avi Shafran . The film is mostly in English, but
also has some subtitled Yiddish and Hebrew . The film follows the lives of
several gay and lesbian Orthodox Jews and includes interviews with rabbis and
psychotherapists about Orthodox attitudes towards homosexuality. During the
film's six-year production, DuBowski met hundreds of homosexual Jews, but only
a handful agreed to be filmed due to fear of being ostracized from their
communities. [1] Many people who agreed to be interviewed are shown only in
silhouette or with their faces pixelized . [2] The majority of the
participants are American Jews, with one British and one Israeli Jew also
featured. The film was successful at the box office , grossing over $788,896
on eight screens by its close date. [3] Background [ edit ] Main article:
Homosexuality and Judaism While a variety of views regarding homosexuality
exist within the Orthodox Jewish community, Orthodox Judaism generally
prohibits homosexual conduct. While there is disagreement about which acts
come under core prohibitions, all of Orthodox Judaism puts certain core
homosexual acts, including male-male anal sex , in the category of yehareg
ve'al ya'avor , "die rather than transgress" – the small category of
Biblically prohibited acts (including apostasy, murder, idolatry, adultery,
and incest) which an Orthodox Jew is obligated under Jewish laws on self-
sacrifice to die rather than commit. [4] Familiarity with sociological and
biological studies, as well as personal contact with Jewish homosexuals, has
brought some Orthodox leaders to a more sympathetic viewpoint, which views
homosexuals as mentally ill rather than rebellious and advocates treatment
rather than ostracism or jail. In the 1974 yearbook of the Encyclopedia
Judaica , Rabbi Norman Lamm , a leader in Modern Orthodox Judaism , urged
sympathy and treatment: "Judaism allows for no compromise in its abhorrence of
sodomy, but encourages both compassion and efforts at rehabilitation." Lamm
compared homosexuals to those who attempt suicide (also a sin in Jewish law),
arguing that in both cases it would be irresponsible to shun or jail the
sinner, but equally wrong for society to give "open or even tacit approval".
[5] When Orthodox rabbi Steven Greenberg publicly announced that he was
homosexual, Rabbi Moshe Tendler , a leading rabbi at the Modern Orthodox
Yeshiva University where Greenberg was ordained as rabbi , stated "It is very
sad that an individual who attended our yeshiva sunk to the depths of what we
consider a depraved society," giving his opinion that Rabbi Greenberg's
announcement is "the exact same as if he said, 'I'm an Orthodox Rabbi and I
eat ham sandwiches on Yom Kippur .' What you are is a Reform Rabbi." [6]
Synopsis [ edit ] Trembling Before G-d interviews and follows several gay and
lesbian Orthodox Jews, many only seen in silhouette, and also interviews
several rabbis and psychologists regarding their views on homosexuality in
Orthodox Judaism. The film repeatedly returns to several characters: David is
an observant Orthodox Jewish doctor from Los Angeles who has spent a decade
trying to reconcile his homosexuality with Judaism. He has tried numerous
forms of "treatment", from eating figs and praying to wearing a rubber band on
his wrist to flick whenever he thinks of men , but to no avail. [2] During the
course of the film, David decides to visit the Chabad rabbi to whom he first
