For 9-12 year olds

The PJ Library Program is a collaborative partnership between the Federation and the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, made possible through partnerships with philanthropists and local Jewish organizations.

PJ Library is a young family engagement program implemented on a local level. Each enrolled child, ages 6 months – 8 ½, receives a high-quality age appropriate Jewish content book and/or music CD on a monthly basis. The goal of this program is to be welcoming, provide resources and support, promote Jewish heritage and connect Jewish families to the Federation and the community.

How do you process rising antisemitism and talk with the children in your life about a topic that’s daunting and sometimes scary? How can Jewish resilience, pride, and joy be one antidote to growing antisemitism?⁠

⁠

PJ Library’s new guide A Time to Talk — paired with the storybook The Big Bad Thing — brings the wisdom of trusted experts to help parents and other caregivers answer the questions: What do I do now? Where do I find guidance? How do I process my own feelings? How do I talk about this calmly with my child?⁠

⁠

Families can opt in to receive the new guide by using your family's unique link, either from the email that went out today or from the QR code that will be mailed with this month's books. Parents and other caregivers have until November 8 to opt in for the guide, which will be mailed to families in January.⁠

⁠

These resources are designed to help parents and other caregivers:⁠

learn about antisemitism in historical and contemporary contexts;⁠

have thoughtful, attuned, and honest conversations on this topic with their children; and⁠

strengthen their family’s resilience and joy during challenging times.⁠

⁠

We hope you find this new resource helpful and meaningful as you navigate these conversations as a family. Learn more: pjlibrary.org/talk
