NightLife: Jewish American Heritage Month Celebration

Get ready for a night packed with stories, flavors, beats and laughs!

Join the JCCSF at the California Academy of Sciences to celebrate Jewish American Heritage Month.

Curated by Value Culture, this unforgettable NightLife party shines a spotlight on the richness, resilience and creativity of the Jewish community. Here’s just a taste of what’s happening:

From Cucumber to Crunch: A Tasty Journey into the World of Pickles with Chef Karen Solomon and the JCCSF
Ever wondered how a cucumber becomes a full-blown sour pickle? Join us with our pickle expert, chef and food writer Karen Solomon, for a delicious pickle demo and a taste-flight that’s briny, crunchy and downright addictive. Find our JCCSF booth located in The Swamp Zone.

Live Music + Comedy
From a viral Jewish rap sensation to old-school Yiddish tunes, the sounds of the diaspora will fill the night. Plus, a lively crew of comedians will bring the LOLs, serving up Jewish humor.

Thought-Provoking Talks
Hear from powerhouse author, artist, and filmmaker Tiffany Shlain. And don’t miss an unforgettable conversation between Holocaust survivor Sami Steigmann and community leader Manny Yekutiel, diving deep into memory, resilience and hope.

Serious Nosh
Fuel up on mouthwatering bites from Saul’s Deli, because no Jewish celebration is complete without seriously good food.

Vibes + Connections
Mix, mingle, and connect with local Jewish organizations (including us!), explore mind-expanding exhibits, and celebrate culture in one of San Francisco’s most iconic spaces.
