I especially hope to engage families who may be unaffiliated with synagogues or other Jewish organizations and help them feel a greater connection to the Jewish community. I look forward to building on that success and expanding the program to benefit even more families in our community. I was very fortunate to step into a program that has already had so much success.

This position combines so many things that I love! I’ve always enjoyed working with children and families, especially in the Jewish community. Why did the PJ Library Manager position appeal to you?
