Greetings!
This month, we celebrate the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, a time
traditionally referred to as the "giving" of the Torah.
Have you ever
wondered why it is the "giving" rather than the
"receiving" of the Torah? The "giving" of the Torah
happened only once on Mount Sinai, while the "receiving" of the
Torah can happen each and every day. Think of it this way, your child
will be "given" a PJ book this month, but he or she will
"receive" the gift of reading and Judaism each time a PJ
Library book is opened.
Happy reading,
Debbie Wolfe,
PJ Library
Coordinator

It's Challah Time!
|
|
A yummy time was had by all
 Last
week 38 happy preschoolers attended "It's Challah Time!"
sponsored by PJ Library and the Amos & Celia Heilicher Minneapolis
Jewish Day School.
The children prepared
and braided challah to bake at home, painted challah covers, decorated
kipot, read "It's Challah Time" and sang Shabbat songs!
What
a fun morning! Click here to see
more pictures of the event!

Fun Shavuot Activities
Shavuot has two traditions that speak to young children: staying up all
night "studying" and eating dairy foods. On May 26, why not
enjoy those traditions as a family? Throw an ice cream (or Tofutti)
pajama party and enjoy a few of these family activities!
