The First Jew In Canada @ Temple Beth Abraham (OAKLAND, CA)

  • Temple Beth Abraham 327 MacArthur Boulevard Oakland, CA, 94610 United States (map)

The First Jew in Canada: A Trans Tale is a wild journey in story, crossing oceans, religions, genders, and centuries, mapping the life of Jacques LaFargue - the trans Jewish 18th century historical figure whose very existence challenges current perceptions of transgender history and identity.

Through the lens of nine verifiable facts, this show begins with the historical records of Jacques LaFargue and overlays the personal narrative of narrator S. Bear Bergman, a Jewish transgender man whose modern life mirrors Jacques’s in startling, hilarious, exhausting and illuminating ways. From daring adventure to startling truth, each fact becomes a gateway to exploring broader themes of identity, history, and the desire to be seen. More information and ticket purchase for this show HERE - doors open at 7:30pm, show will begin promptly at 8pm. All are welcome.
