Greetings!
This month, we celebrate the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, originally an ancient harvest festival. Literally translated as "weeks," Shavuot completes the counting of 7 weeks from Passover to the traditional start of the grain harvest. Starting this year on Tuesday evening, May 14, Shavuot also celebrates the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai.
To get into the holiday spirit is to hike up your local "Mt. Sinai" to write a "family Ten Commandments" -- or find other creative Shavuot ideas and books below.
Treasure each day,
Judy Nemzer
PJ Library/Shalom Baby Coordinator
Vivien Dean
PJ Library/Shalom Baby North County Assistant

Family of the Month -The Goldstein Family |
The Goldstein Family
We learned about PJ Library from Judy Nemzer at Shalom Baby. We were excited to learn about this, because aside from Jewish cookbooks, we really didn’t have any Jewish books in our home. With the fantastic Jewish education our son Jaden is receiving at the Nierman Preschool, he has really enjoyed reading and learning about the Jewish Holidays in the books he receives from PJ Library. He especially loves the Hanukkah book, and enjoys counting the candles on each page! Jaden is ecstatic each time he receives a new book in the mail. We will soon start reading the books to Jaden’s baby brother. Thank you PJ Library for teaching our family about all of the Holidays!!
- Ryan, Gina, Jaden & Asher Goldstein |
