What a wonderful Sunday morning with our PJ Library families!

We loved coming together to celebrate Sukkot, learning about this joyful harvest holiday and exploring the meaning and beauty of mezuzot.

A heartfelt thank you to Rabbi Romano for joining us and sharing her wisdom, stories, and warmth with our families. 💙

To help children connect with the themes of Yom Kippur—kindness, self-improvement, and goal-setting—try simple activities like:
• Talking about the story of Jonah
• Painting encouraging messages on stones
• Creating a kindness wheel
• Building a sticky note wall
• Having thoughtful conversations

Art is from Jonah by Tammar Stein, illustrated by Sabina Hahn, published by PJ Publishing.

As we journey from Rosh Hashanah toward Yom Kippur, we enter the Days of Awe — a sacred time for reflection, forgiveness, and new beginnings.

PJ Library stories give families gentle ways to talk with children about saying sorry, making things right, and moving forward with kindness. 💙📚

We’d love to hear: what family traditions or reflections guide you during this special week?
