Speakers: Jonathan Magonet, Gabriel Josipovici, Zahavit Shalev

They are often most familiar as the simplified versions we learn as children; yet Bible stories are the products of a highly developed literary culture. Rabbi Jonathan Magonet, Emeritus Professor of Bible at Leo Baeck College and author of How Did Moses Know He Was A Hebrew, is joined by author and academic Gabriel Josipovici and Rabbi Zahavit Shalev of New North London Synagogue to explore the wit, humour and many dimensions of these universally appealing stories, and why they resonate today.
