Like the branches of an old oak tree, the observance of Tu B'Shevat is
spreading.
With the rising concern about climate change, the Jewish
New Year of the Trees, (Wednesday, February 8, beginning the evening
prior), offers an opportune wintry moment to plant and nurture a
commitment to preserve our precious environment.
May the little sprouts in your house continue growing up
healthy and strong.
With appreciation,
Judy Nemzer

Mommy and Me Movie Morning, presenting the movie "David"
Tuesday, February 14th at 10:30am at 10:30am
David and Dorothea Garfield Theater at the JCC
Can the son of a prominent Imam and an orthodox Jewish boy become friends in Brooklyn's brew of separate ethnic enclaves. With even handed sensitivity and a deft touch which includes humor, the filmmaker explores the question of how preteen David can both retain his core identity as a Muslim and enter into another culture. |

Family of the Month - The Frankel Family |
Jennifer, Allan, Melissa and Jacob
My daughter Melissa is now 6 years old and my son Jacob is now 2 1/2 years old . We have been fortunate enough to have been receiving PJ library books since Melissa turned one. I grew up on Long Island where I was immersed in Jewish culture. I am now on the west coast living in San Diego where it is a very different story.
We need to work hard to bring Judaism into our every day lives. PJ library books help us to do this. My children love getting something in the mail addressed to them. There is an excitement to opening them and a desire to read them right away. Some of the books become favorites for them and some for us. "Five Little Creplach" is one of my favorites I love the yiddish...it reminds me of my grandparents. The Shabbat box is one of their favorites we read it almost every Friday. The Chanukah book "I Have a Little Dreidel" has been one of my daughters favorites for years. She identifies all of the pictures with a family member and now she sings it to her brother, showing him the pictures and telling him the corresponding family member.
Melissa goes to public school in the Encinitas district where she is the only Jewish child in her class. I read her the book " The Only One Club". This is such a wonderful story of tolerance. We brought it to her teacher who then read it to the class and then used it in the classes writers workshop. Each child in her class wrote a story of how they are each the only one of something. The teacher has purchased the book intending to use it for years to come.
These books are a little ray of Jewish sunshine in our home each month thank you so much.
