Israel's Orthodox drag queen
Hadar, a telemarketer by day, has taken the gay Orthodox struggle from the synagogue to the stage, beginning to perform as one of Israel's few religious drag queens.
His drag persona is that of a rebbetzin, a female rabbinic advisor, a wholesome guise that stands out among the sarcastic and raunchy cast of characters on Israel's drag queen circuit.
Shahar Hadar's wigs and dress hang in a dressing room just before his drag queen show at a gay club in Jerusalem, July 29, 2013.
