PJ Gives Back: Park Cleanup Day, 11/21 @ 2:00 pm
Biebrach Park, 450 W. Virginia St., San Jose
Thanksgiving is a great prompt to remind ourselves and our kids about Jewish values of gratitude and Tikkun Olam, repairing the world. Starting with some PJ stories and moving into trash pickup, this event will give us a concrete "mitzvah" to help others. Disposable gloves, trash bags and "grabbers" will be provided by our partner, the anti-Litter Program of City of San Jose. RSVP
PJ Library is YOUR community! This year, in addition to 2 great community-wide Hanukkah events, we invite you to make a personal connection with another PJ family in your geographic area.

Please prepare a kosher-style batch of Hanukkah cookies of your own design, as well as a homemade art project to gift to your buddy family. Deadline to register is 11/16. Participants will receive their buddy info by 11/22. Please send us pictures of your "Happier Together" time! Sign up as a Hanukkah Buddy Family
