Hello PJ Families!
As I write, Providence is breaking a temperature high----amazing! Spring is on the way.
Of course, New England always holds weather surprises, so be prepared!
Purim and Passover will soon be here and if this "heat" continues the flowers will be blooming!
The March PJ books arriving in your mailboxes are full of stories of Passover. What a wonderful way to share Pesach with your child.
Shalom,
