SPIRITUAL CONNECTION
If you're looking for a spiritual connection this Jewish New Year, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation and the Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami have compiled a directory of area synagogues to help you find a place to worship. We encourage you to review this list and call a synagogue for membership information. Make the year 5780 a time for Jewish renewal for you and your family, and a time to find personal meaning and connection with your community.

RECIPES, CRAFTS & FAMILY FUN

In addition to this month’s PJ Library book, families will receive another gift in the envelope - a Blessing of the Children kit. This interactive kit is designed to help you create your own traditions around this special time.

Long and lazy summer days make way for alarm clocks, freshly sharpened pencils, and lunchboxes as it’s time for kids to go back to school. Stay ahead of the game with these easy ideas that will help ease the transition.

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish Year, begins this year at sundown on September 29th. The PJ Library Rosh Hashanah hub is filled with recipes, family-friendly activities, explanatory videos, and much more.

We are excited to announce PJ Library’s podcast, “Have I Got A Story For You!” We think the whole family will love these stories, which are original spins on classic Jewish tales and ideas. Visit www.GotAStoryPodcast.com for a two-episode sneak peek, with more great stories coming your way soon.

The 7 stories in this list can help children learn and understand the concept of forgiveness.

For a limited time, if you donate $60 you will receive a special thank-you gift of 6 PJ Library books in the language of your choice: Spanish, Russian, Hebrew, or English. This special premium offer is available for any donations made until September 26th, 2019. Your support makes PJ Library possible!
