Episode 50: A Peek into PJ Library with Lori Hoch Stiefel

Just in time for Hannuka, Daniella sits down with Lori Hoch Stiefel, PJ Library Engagement Officer. PJ Library sends free high-quality storybooks and activities to families with kids from birth through age 12. These stories spark conversation and inspire the whole family to engage with what is most meaningful to them about being Jewish. Created by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, the program is made possible through partnerships with philanthropists and local Jewish organizations. To learn more and sign up, visit pjlibrary.org.
