Free Jewish Bedtime Stories
& Songs
We are so excited you are choosing PJ Library for your family! Children get excited just seeing the PJ Library envelope with their name each month in the mail, and families treasure the quality time shared together around the PJ stories & music. You'll get a FREE Jewish children's book every month! That's right, FREE. No catch. The books are about Jewish holidays, folk tales, and values like being kind to others. They're kid tested, age appropriate and beautifully illustrated! You'll love them as much as your kids do.
PJ Library is about more than just the books. Throughout the year we gather for special programs where you and your kids can meet new friends, celebrate Jewish holidays and have fun! Our monthly e-newsletter and Facebook page keep you in the know about local Jewish happenings and broader issues for Jewish parenting. PJ is for ANY family raising Jewish children: affiliated, unaffiliated, interfaith or non-traditional.
PJ Library is a program of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, made possible through partnerships with philanthropists and local Jewish organizations and managed in Portland by the Mittleman Jewish Community Center.
Sign up today and tell your friends. We're here to provide connections for young families like yours to the greater Portland Jewish community. All families raising Jewish children from six months through eight years of age are welcome to sign up!
