PJ Library Story Squad Gives the Gift of Chanukah to Miami-Dade Students

To celebrate the Chanukah season, PJ Library is providing a holiday experience for more than 700 children across Miami-Dade public and private secular schools. PJ Story Squad volunteers are visiting classes to teach students the universal values of Chanukah by reading the PJ Library book The Eighth Menorah, playing dreidel, serving latkes and lighting the menorah. PJ Library is a gift from the Greater Miami Jewish Federation made possible by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation and the Blank Family Foundation.
