 The Jewish Federation of El Paso participates in the The PJ Library program, which gives 70 local preschool children beautifully bound and illustrated Jewish children’s books or DVDs each month for twelve months. These will be theirs to use and treasure for years to come and give them the chance to enjoy Jewish melodies and stories. The Federation is seeking to expand The PJ Library by asking the general community to help us identify more eligible children, at no cost to the families. Each child, six months through six years old, who is enrolled will receive a monthly gift of a Jewish book or CD absolutely free*. Learn more about our PJ Library program and sign up your child here. |
