Happy Birthday, Cool Jew!

Announcing the Cool Jew Anniversary Celebration

Catch the launch of the one-year anniversary of the book that celebrates Jewish identity and pop culture with love, kitsch and a reverent irreverence.

The celebration begins Thursday, August 27th, when Cool Jew joins the annual pre-game tailgate party at Jewish Heritage Night at the SF Giants!

The tailgate kicks off @ 4 pm with free kosha BBQ, popcorn and cotton candy, giveaways of autographed copies of Cool Jew, book signing, music and more!

Then join the Giants for a game against Arizona @ 7 pm. Tickets include a free souvenir tshirt. Learn more and buy tickets.
