Passover is the ultimate Jewish story – a tale of freedom, hope, and food – which makes it the perfect holiday to share with the entire family. From the experiential delight of the seders to the eight days of matzah pizza, macaroons, and storytelling, Passover is time for gathering, reflecting, telling stories, and working towards a world with freedom for all. Visit PJ Library’s Passover Hub at pjlibrary.org/passover to find everything you need to plan your festive Passover meal (seder), set your table, and answer your kids’ curious questions (and encourage them to ask some of their own).
On the Passover hub, families will find PJ Library’s free downloadable spring holiday guide, A Time to Gather. This primer lays out Jewish holidays spanning late March to late June, including Passover, in a thoughtful, creative, and colorful way that can help anyone feel more secure in their holiday planning and hosting. Learn how to prepare for the seders and the foods you need for your table, and find meaningful activities to make the most out of all eight days.
Also available for digital download from the Hub is the thoughtfully crafted In Every Generation: A PJ Library Family Haggadah. It follows the arc of a traditional Haggadah and features all of the major songs, prayers, and moments, but also incorporates helpful framing and stories for kids so they can get the most out of this experiential meal. Over the past eight years, PJ Library has sent over 840,000 Haggadahs to more than 215,000 families and enabled downloads on our site for thousands more, ensuring that this storytelling tradition continues into the next generation. The PJ Library Family Haggadah is available for purchase in paperback for $7.99 through the PJ Library storefront.
This Passover, PJ Library subscribers are also eligible to host a Get Together and receive $100 reimbursements for planning Jewish-themed gatherings with at least two other families raising Jewish children. Whether you’re having an afikomen hunt, a parents-only kosher-wine-tasting night, or a plague-making craft session, families can count on PJ Library to help them enjoy and pay for holiday hangouts.
Finally, PJ Library is proud to once again partner with Streit’s Matzos, bringing together two beloved names in Jewish family traditions to supermarkets and Passover grocery lists across North America. PJ Library will be prominently featured on Streit’s iconic matzah boxes; both kids and adults will enjoy a new, engaging “Search and Find” activity on the box. Plus, in the weekends leading up to Passover, families in the NY/NJ area can delight in meeting PJ Library representatives in the kosher aisle of select ShopRites and Fairways, giving out PJ Library books and Passover goodies to help prepare for the holiday.
