The First Jew in Canada – a Trans Tale

the performance is from 7 pm – 8 pm with a reception to follow in the Social Hall from 8 pm – 9 pm.
The First Jew in Canada is a storytelling event mapping the life of Jacques LaFargue, a trans
Jewish historical figure whose existence challenges our perceptions of history and identity.
Through the lens of nine verifiable facts, this show weaves the historical records of Jacques
LaFargue with the personal narrative of narrator S. Bear Bergman, a trans Jewish man whose life
mirrors Jacques’s in profound 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.
