| A PJ Story |
|
|
"PJ Library has been the main source
of integrating Judaism into our home and educating my children
about their heritage. We've attended community events that we
would otherwise have not known about but for the PJ Library
website. It's really been such a gift for which we are
so grateful."

Greetings!
Don't be
surprised if some curious animals jump off the page and into
your lap when you open up this month's PJ Library books! It could be a
critter from Noah's sea-faring menagerie, a Yiddish
chicken from the streets of Brooklyn, a crazy
fox or nosy
bee!
If your family
experiences one of these wonders come to life, please share
your story of PJ Library reading fun with me. I love hearing
about all the happy family times PJ Library creates. You can
email me at dwolfe@jfcsmpls.org.
Hope your
summer is filled with fun, family, friends and crazy
creatures!!!!

families for coming to the Rick Recht concert! |
Over
70 families rocked with Rick and PJ
Library!
A big thank you to all the
wonderful families and Sholom Home residents who made
the Rick Recht concert a huge success! 
Bubbies boogied, kids
cartwheeled and everyone enjoyed Rick's sensational
songs!
Keep watching for more PJ Library events
coming this fall and please tell your friends all about
PJ
Library.
