PJ Library is a Jewish engagement and literacy program for Jewish and interfaith families with young children. (Over 25% of parents say they are intermarried.) Each month children, starting at age 6 months, receive free books along with a guide to help parents discuss the theme of the book with their children. (91% of parents believe PJ Library is a valuable parenting tool.)  A key feature of “PJ” is the opportunity to get together with other families for fun and learning. “More than 80% of parents say PJ Library gives them more confidence to engage with their children regarding Jewish values, culture, and traditions.” Ten years ago, thanks to the generosity of 8 donors, 180 children were in our PJ program. Overtime, with less funding, we’ve have had to reduce the number of participants and today we have a waiting list. MAKE PJ LIBRARY YOURS!
