In the beginning: Stephen Schecter tells Bible stories

Thus starts the Hebrew Bible, that template of western literature and the DNA of the Jewish people, whose stories Stephen Schecter loves to retell as he will do this evening. You will laugh, you will cry, but you will wind up embracing this glorious founding document of the Jews and its indissoluble link to the Israel homeland, turning a tribe into a nation.

Described as “a cross between Jackie Mason and a poet”, Stephen has delighted audiences across North America retelling these timeless Bible stories with his unique blend of humour and insight that would make any modern Jew proud to call this literary tradition his or her home.
