Transmitzvah Streaming on Netflix Is Full of Yiddish and Jewish Magic

"Transmitzvah," directed by Daniel Burman, follows Mumy, a transgender woman and celebrated Yiddish singer, as she seeks the bar mitzvah she never had.

Born Rubén Singman, Mumy declined her bar mitzvah, feeling disconnected from her male identity.

Years later, after her father's death, she believes that having this Jewish rite of passage will help her reclaim her voice.

The film delves into Jewish family dynamics, traditions, and mysticism, highlighting Mumy's relationships, especially with her brother Eduardo. It offers a respectful portrayal of transgender, Jewish, and Argentinian communities.
