PJ Library In Vermont November News
PJ Library In Vermont Local News
Hello PJ Library In Vermont community!
November is the month for food and friends 🍲
Join me at Northern Nosh, Vermont’s annual Jewish food and culture festival in Burlington on Sunday, November 9th! I’ll be hosting an interactive book reading at 12:30 pm. There will be all kinds of Jewish foods to experience and more activities for children throughout this joyous event! I’m looking forward to seeing you and your kids there!
Now is also a great time to start your planning for a Hanukkah Get Together or maybe a Thanksgiving Shabbat with friends! PJ Library's Get Together microgrant program helps you host your friends for low-prep, Jewish-themed gatherings – and they cover $100 in hosting expenses! Pretty sweet, right? However you do Jewish, you can count on PJ Library to help you enjoy Shabbat and holiday hangouts. Plus, there are loads of ideas on the PJ Library website to help you plan. https://pjlibrary.org/gettogether
Got questions? New to the community or looking to make connections with other families? I can help!
Happy reading,
Get Together
