The shul’s Tikkun Olam group, whose charitable work for CAST is well known by our members and friends, has learned about a program for parents and grandparents sponsored by PJ Library, a literacy program for Jewish families with young children, reported Veronica Kaliski, chair of the group. This program sends free, age-appropriate Jewish-themed books to children ages 6 months to 8 years.

Included in the expansive PJ Library list of available books is a title by Kalaniot Books, the publishing company owned and headed by Lili Rosenstreich, daughter of shul members Saul and Susan Rosenstreich. The Very Best Sukkah by Shoshana Nambi, illustrated by Moran Yogev is a 2023 winner of a National Jewish Book Award and a Sydney Taylor Book Award. Other Kalaniot titles are being reviewed by PJ Library.  Tikkun Olam suggests that those interested in the program can sign up by visiting www.pjlibrary.org/.
