PJ Library and PJ Our Way in Southern Arizona

PJ Library is a gift from the Tucson J, and is made possible by the Einstein-Sim, Kippur, Langer, Loebl, Margolis, Rosenzweig, and Sharpe families, with support from Jewish Philanthropies of Southern Arizona, in partnership
with the Harold Grinspoon Foundation.

PJ Library

PJ Library sends free, award-winning books that celebrate Jewish values and culture to families raising Jewish children from birth through 8 years old.

PJ Our Way

PJ Our Way is the next chapter of PJ Library for kids ages 9-12. It is available free of charge throughout the U.S. and Canada to families raising Jewish children. Every month, kids can come to this site to choose the book they want to receive. Kids can also submit reviews and videos about the books.

PJ Library for Grandparents

Israel Swings for Gold
