We're Thankful in October

October 2020

Aren't the Fall colours just beautiful?

We have much to be thankful for and this month Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret, Simchat Torah AND Thanksgiving all fall within ten days, each holiday giving us the opportunity to reflect and be grateful for all we have from shelter to Torah to ...well... everything.

Please remember to let me know if your address has changed or if you have added to your family or if there is a family that we can welcome to PJ Library. PJ Our Way families it's time to choose your books - and if your child is 8 1/2 (or older) now is the time to register for PJ Our Way.

And while we're at it remember to register your parents for PJ Grandparents!

Let's take time to appreciate what we have!

Celebrating Sukkot with Kids

Sukkot, the fall holiday of thanksgiving, starts five days after Yom Kippur and lasts for a week. The most popular Sukkot tradition is building, decorating, and spending time (even sleeping!) inside a hut called a sukkah.

Is your family anticipating a new arrival? For families with children, the experience of a new baby is different the second or third or fourth time around, here are some tips to help older siblings.

Chesed: Loving-Kindness

The Hebrew word chesed is usually translated as loving-kindness but can also mean courage and imagination. Discover acts of loving-kindness that are examples of Jewish values in action.

More Fall Holidays
