Looking for local neighborhood meet ups? Want to connect with other families raising Jewish children in your area? Our PJ Parent Connectors have you covered! These smaller scale events, both virtual and in-person, offer new ways to explore your neighborhood and celebrate with your local PJ Library community.

New to your area? – Find your PJ Library Connector and reach out! We are happy to take you for coffee and introduce you to the neighborhood.

JUF Young Families programming is enriched by the diversity of our participants. We know each family is unique and all are welcome.
