David’s presentations were engaging, warm and enthusiastic! Starting
off with Harry Potter was a real attention getter.

David Epstein is a creative storyteller who makes each Jewish tale a
legend—one that listeners can easily pass on to others. A very special
trait.
—Rabbi Isaiah Zeldin
Stephen S. Wise Temple, Los Angeles, CA
Every time David Epstein speaks of Jews and the Wild West at our
synagogue, I know to prepare for more seating by opening the extension
to our sanctuary.
—Rabbi Richard Spiegel
Congregation Etz Chaim, Thousand Oaks, CA
David Epstein is captivating as he tells the
stories of the Jews of the Old West. He holds the interest
of all present as he shares his knowledge in a humorous and
informal manner. He is a master storyteller who leaves
people wanting more. What a treasure to have so close!
--Rabbi Steven A. Chester
Temple Sinai, Oakland, California
David Epstein, in his charming, conversational
way, brings to life a less considered epoch in the Jewish
odyssey - Jews in the Wild (and not so wild) West. I left
feeling a bit more in tune with my American Jewish heritage and
pleasantly entertained as well.
--Dr.
Michael Isaacson,
Jewish music lecturer, conductor and
composer of the One Minute Birkat
David has a wonderful way of telling stories that make the Jewish
characters of the Old West come alive. He provides very interesting
information about our obscure ancestors from the American past.
—Rabbi Julian Cook
Temple Emanuel, Denver, Colorado
David Epstein has created a new dimension in the
art of Jewish storytelling. He actually transports his listeners.
This was the experience of my congregation for our recent Western
Shabbat. Little did they realize they would be taken on a journey to
meet Jews of the "Old West." He transports everyone to a time period
when the West was Wild.
At one point, glancing over the room, I saw that
the eyes of the congregants literally sparkling with nostalgia as
they hung on to his every word.
