Fuel a Child’s Jewish Journey:
PJ Library is often the first connection a family makes to Jewish life in Ottawa. Every book opens the door to Jewish learning, culture, and tradition — helping children build a proud Jewish identity from an early age.
Little books. Big Jewish memories.
There's something magical about a child finding a colourful PJ Library envelope in the mailbox.
It's the excitement of a new story, the cuddles at bedtime, the questions about Jewish traditions and the memories families make together.
But PJ Library is so much more than books! It's babies meeting their first Jewish friends, parents finding their community and grandparents sharing the traditions they love with a new generation.
And thanks to you, we've been making that magic happen in Ottawa for 15 years!
Look what we've done together!
- 109,633 books delivered to Jewish children since 2011
- 1,500 families reached over 15 years
- 40 programs bringing families together this year
- 785 books bringing Jewish stories into homes every month
Let's keep the light shining!
