I just wanted to thank you sooooo much for the Hanukkah box we received. The kids have had a blast working on all the projects and the menorah is beautiful! It has definitely added to our family’s Hanukkah celebration and we will be able to use the menorah for years to come! What a wonderful program PJ Library is offering the community.

We love PJ Library for how it helps us to teach Ari about our traditions and is even helping us reconnect and relearn along the way. Thanks for the important work you are doing for our community.

Grandparents play an important role in the lives of their grandchildren. They pass down tradition and heritage through the values they’ve taught their children and the family history they share with future generations. Below are resources to help you support your grandkid(s) on their Jewish journeys.
The PJ Library’s website also has a rich collection of Jewish parenting resources like holiday guides, activities, crafts, podcasts, videos, music and a lot more — all free of charge. Visit PJ Library’s Website
