"Due to unusual circumstances and family illness, I found myself unexpectedly at home alone with my two boys on Passover ... We were on the couch when I saw The PJ Library book we had received for Passover. I thought, we can at least read about Passover even if we won't celebrate..."

Greetings!
What's so Jewish about springtime? Why, Passover of course!
It's a time of renewal, rebirth, and retelling. As the green of spring returns (in the four-season counties, that is) we retell the Jewish story of liberation from slavery, and we have the opportunity to make the ancient story relevant by standing up for those who are not yet free.
We hope the resources below will help make your Passover experience meaningful, whether you snuggle with your family to read a PJ Library Passover book, or join others around the seder table.
Here's to freedom for all... and enjoy your Passover celebration,
Elizabeth Woosley & Linda Kean
