Dear PJ Library Families and Friends,


As we celebrate Tu Bishvat this weekend, the Jewish New Year of the Trees, we’re reminded of the beauty of growth, renewal, and the importance of nurturing what matters most. Whether you’re new to South Palm Beach County or have been part of the PJ Library family for many years, we are so grateful for the care, connection, and spirit you bring to our community.


Tu Bishvat invites us to reflect on the roots we plant and the values we nurture. Through stories, traditions, and everyday moments, PJ Library helps families cultivate Jewish values, and we hope your family enjoys meaningful moments of connection as we continue to learn and grow together.


Be sure to keep an eye on our monthly newsletter for upcoming programs, family gatherings, and opportunities to connect with other local families. You can also follow us on Instagram @pjlibraryspbc and on Facebook to stay connected and inspired.


Wishing you a joyful and meaningful Tu Bishvat,
