“It would not surprise me if there is at least one parent in our small community reading a PJ Library book to his or her child every single night of the year. Do you know what that means to a small congregation? Every single night, there is a child in our community who is laughing, learning and experiencing what it is to be Jewish. Even better, they are getting that experience from the teachers who mean the most to them -- their parents.”—Rabbi from North Adams, MA
