PJ Library
PJ Library sends free Jewish children’s books to families across the world every month. We know that something magical happens when parents sit down together to read with their children. PJ Library shares Jewish stories that can help your family talk together about values and traditions that are important to you.
About PJ Our Way
Every month, from the 1st – 10th, participants, ages 9-12, visit the PJ Our Way website to choose a book from a selection of four high-quality titles that have been reviewed by a panel of PJ educators, parents, and kids. That’s 12 free books a year! To make the choice easier, every title offered comes with a synopsis and author bios, ratings and reviews, and video trailers. Kids can also take polls and quizzes, participate in monthly interviews and challenges, and comment on blog posts.
Visit Our Little Library!
The JCC has created a PJ Little Library in our parking lot that includes a rotating stock of PJ Library & PJ Our Way books. Come by at any time to take a book or donate one!
PJ Gatherings
Join the JCC and PJ Library for celebrations and events throughout the year. Pick apples for Rosh Hashanah, celebrate Havdalah during a winter swim party, learn to braid challah or bake hamentashen, and best of all, make friends while you’re doing it.
Harold Grinspoon Foundation
The program was created by the nonprofit Harold Grinspoon Foundation (HGF) in keeping with its mission to help people connect to Jewish values, traditions, and culture while building vibrant Jewish communities. The HGF partners with local Jewish organizations, like the Asheville JCC, to fund PJ Library and make it available in their community.
