While the joyful events of PJ families celebrating Shabbat on the Beach and at Massaro Farm have passed and summertime is far behind us, we can look toward the light of Hanukkah candles and how to bring light into our lives. PJ Library families will be bringing light to many places over Hanukkah. You and your family are welcome to join us and give out dreidels and gelt as we visit local libraries and Barnes & Noble. Reach out to me if you would like to be one of the givers of Hanukkah cheer this holiday season. All are welcome:
