Hello PJ Families!
We are in the midst of our High Holy Day season, celebrating and reflecting. The celebrating part allows for an easy path to create family rituals whether it be apple picking followed by baking our favorite apple cake recipe, or crafting decorations for the Sukkah.
Asking for forgiveness, however, is not quite as simple and is something that children need to be taught. How do you teach your children the meaning of forgiveness? Visit The PJ Library Facebook page, and share your thoughts with us here.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, or would like to see different kinds of programming, please be sure to contact me.
Wishing you all a very happy, healthy, and sweet New Year!
Best,
