Brunch with Russ & Daughters

Bagels, babka, and a side of storytelling: celebrate a century of appetizing with Russ & Daughters’ Niki Russ Federman & Josh Russ Tupper at this special brunch and book conversation.

JCC San Francisco is diving into the century-long legacy of smoked fish, family, and fabulous flavor with one of New York’s most beloved institutions: Russ & Daughters. Join fourth-generation appetizing royalty Niki Russ Federman and Josh Russ Tupper as they share stories, traditions, and delicious history from their new book RUSS & DAUGHTERS: 100 Years of Appetizing. 

From the humble pushcart beginnings to the bustling counters on the Lower East Side, Russ & Daughters has been serving up Jewish comfort food since 1914. Now, Niki and Josh bring the heart, humor, and herring to San Francisco for a lively conversation about family, food, and the resilience of Jewish culinary culture. 

Tickets: $100 (includes brunch and book)
