While the program is partially funded by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, there are significant additional costs associated with all we are doing.
So we were intrigued when we were contacted by Congregation Rodeph Sholom, a Conservative synagogue in Bridgeport, asking to discuss the impact of the PJ Library program.
I’m thrilled to announce that Congregation Rodeph Sholom has generously funded a large portion of our 2023 annual PJ Library program costs. While the gift reflects the wishes of their board, I think it also underscores our whole community's commitment to PJ Library, and we are very grateful for this unexpected gift.
FYI, recently Sara delivered empty bins to each synagogue for members to return their used PJ Library books back to the Federation. We are sending those books to Israel, where PJ Library is an important tool in teaching English to young children and refugees. What a wonderful addition to the power of PJ Library!
