Welcome Shabbat with this playful and soulful experience of singing, dancing, jumping, and celebrating as a community. On the third Friday of each month, children and their caregivers are invited to listen to music, gather for stories, play games, create a craft, eat a snack, and make new friends. This new-and-improved PJ Library Story Time will incorporate more music and movement as Dayna Bailen, our Shabbaba song leader, and her trusted friend Shlomo the sloth puppet entertain children ages five and under. All are welcome.

Dear PJ Families,
December is music month, so be on the lookout for a CD in place of this month's PJ book. What a great way to share the sounds of Jewish culture with your family.
December can also be a time of challenges. Often referred to as the "December Dilemma," some families struggle with the presence of Christmas all around them. It is important to remember that Hanukkah is not a Jewish Christmas; however, it can still be something that causes stress.
My Jewish Learning has put together a comprehensive list of resources to help you navigate your way through the holiday season.
Here at the Jewish Alliance, we will be providing multiple opportunities for families to celebrate Hanukkah with the community. Make sure to see the upcoming events section above to find out all the details. I hope to have the chance to spin the
dreidel with many of you.
As always, please feel free to
contact me with any questions or concerns about PJ Library or PJOW.
Wishing you a peaceful December!
