Dear Families,
The colder the weather gets, the more we long for warmth. Snuggle up with PJ Library books and gather around the Shabbat table for heartwarming family experiences. We have a fun and easy way to do this....
SHABBAT AROUND TOWN
is a celebration of Shabbat
with a "PJ Library" twist. We have families who want to host others for Friday night dinner and we 're looking for families who want to be guests. We'll make the match (of hosts and guests) and send a special PJ Library Shabbat Box filled with "ruach" (spirit) and the basic things that make this weekly dinner different from the rest. It's casual, easy, early (for little kids) and fun to share your family traditions-or discover new ones!
SHABBAT AROUND TOWN is a wonderful way to welcome newer families to the dynamic Greenwich Jewish community. If you are interested in hosting or joining others for a Shabbat Around Town dinner---please email me!
Here are the upcoming dates for Shabbat Around Town:
11/13, 12/18, 1/29, 2/26, 3/11 and 5/20. Thank you for being part of this warm and welcoming experience!
Happy Thanksgiving!

When the Nights Grow Longer, Shabbat Brings Us Closer
For Lela Casey, Shabbat is a reminder that there is a world outside of school and schedules that has the potential to add depth and dimension to our often
routine existences.
