We've all worn a pair of blue jeans, but how many of us know that the blue jean was invented by two Jews? And that proceeds from the sale of the first blue jeans funded extraordinary Jewish American philanthropy? PJ Library and the Jewish Federation of Greater New Haven present a storytelling event with Shoshana Banana that dives deeper into Levi Strauss' history.

Author Shoshana Banana loves cotton candy, trampolines, temporary tattoos, blue herons, birch forests, crystals, chrysanthemums, the Dead Sea, castle hotels, express trains, leather books, ginger hot chocolate, animal topiary, and silly monograms.
