Enchanting moments unfold as parents engage in storytelling sessions with their little ones. Through PJ Library, carefully selected, acclaimed storybooks and interactive experiences are offered to children from infancy to age 12. This initiative ignites profound discussions and creates avenues to embark on a journey of exploring and cherishing Jewish heritage collectively. By supporting PJ Library, we enable nearly 1800 children to receive monthly book deliveries, allowing them to delve into Jewish narratives that embody cherished values and traditions. Beyond nurturing creativity and laying essential foundations for literacy, we orchestrate hands-on events throughout the year, fostering a sense of community among young families.
