What People are Saying About Joyfully Jewish
Each month, JUF distributes The Shofar, an e-newsletter just for families with young children. Stay up-to-date on JUF Joyfully Jewish programs such as JUF Book Buddies, PJ Library, JUF Right Start and special events. Also included are family programs sponsored by JUF agency partners, synagogues, day schools and other family fun activities and Jewish resources.
Like the shofar blown during Jewish High Holiday services to attract the attention of worshippers, we hope The Shofar e-newsletter will draw your attention and interest to Chicago's Jewish community programs for you and your young children.
