jkidphilly at Hazon Philadelphia Jewish Food Festival

By Lori Rubin, Director, Family Engagement / The Hazon Philadelphia Jewish Food Festival, held at Adath Israel on Sunday, November 16th, was a great opportunity for individuals and families to spend a day learning, celebrating, and hands-on doing at the intersection of food, sustainability, and Jewish life.

The Gift of Books

By Amy Schwartz, Director, PJ Library & jkidphilly / In the children’s book, Thank you, Trees, by Gail Langer Karwoski and Marilyn E. Gootman, it reads, “On Tu BiShvat we thank each tree, for all it gives to you and me.”  I think of this sentiment and how it is also a metaphor for books themselves and the gifts of learning, wondering, and imagining they can provide.
