Dear PJ Families,
I am sure many of us are busy this week prepping for the upcoming holiday of Passover. It has always been my favorite Jewish holiday, filled with family and always lots of laughs. Passover also brings back so many memories of cooking with my grandmother--recipes that have been in our family for generations. I hope Passover is a happy time for your family, too.
This month's PJ Library books are all about Israel, as we get ready to celebrate Israel's 70th anniversary. As a reminder, we will be celebrating this milestone on Thursday, April 19, Yom Ha'Atzmaut (Israeli Independence Day) with a family concert featuring Rick Recht, children's Jewish rock musician and PJ Library National Celebrity Spokesperson. The concert begins at 6:00pm, but the fun begins at 5:00pm with Israeli food available for purchase along with a variety of activities and games. Be sure to reserve your spot today; space is limited!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to
contact me
.
