    I think PJ Library does a great thing for the youngest generation by sending stories monthly. It starts them out at a young age being invested in Judaism. But it is not always books. Sometimes it is CDs as well! I know my son looks forward to receiving his book each month.

    I also love the PJ Library. What a simple but profound idea! All our kids five and below get the books. My two kids get it too and when they were younger they actually looked forward to the books each month. On their site they actually go up until 8 and below. Age appropriate books and CD's. I think they also sent us a DVD one time. Very multi-media and worthwhile. In Tulsa, it's run through our Federation and it costs them $40 per child per year to sponsor it. Our families love it. One issue though: At our Synagogue we have a full time preschool with 110 kids. Very big for Tulsa and we have a long waiting list. Literally. NAECY accredited and 3 stars. It's a fantastic school. I supervise the preschool director and we have a great relationship. The rub is that of the 110 kids, only a handful are Jewish, like 8 or 9 of them. So we have 100 kids here in the building learning about the universal themes of Judaism all week long, 7:30-5:30, and they are not Jewish. It's not that they are trying to be Jewish. It's just that our program is so great. So when I asked Federation and the PJ Library if they could be included, they said no. Even if the Synagogue paid for it. Boo-hoo. I wish there was an exception that could be made and all kids who go to Jewish schools, whether they are Jewish or non-Jewish, could get the PJ Library. What do you think?

    I completely agree with you, sort of. I think anyone who attends a Jewish school (Jewish or not) should be able to receive the PJ Library books. However, having worked for a little bit of time for the PJ Library in my area, the reason that they won't allow non-Jews to receive the books even if someone else pays for it, is because only a certain number of books are allocated per town that participates in PJ Library. If non-Jews receives those books, there is a chance that the Jews in your area will not receive the books.

    I see what you are saying about running out of books and I've heard that same perspective from someone who worked for PJ Library when they were at the ISJL conference. But I think if Harold Grinspoon heard that they were concerned with running out of books, they could solve that problem pretty quickly. I understand that the children who go to our Synagogue preschool are mainly non-Jewish and I'm not saying they should become members or anything. Getting the book would be nice but they are okay with out it. Each fall I check in with my federation executive to see if there should be any updates for the PJ library list. It is so generous and it works!

      This is a Jewish organization taking a whole different role in working with Jewish camps and technology - funny that it came up right with the articles about Jewish camps, education and technology. At the same time, it shares the same core mission as many Jewish camps and camp organizations like FJC.

    Harold Grinspoon has done so much to help the Jewish people. Matching grants of 60 million, wow. PJ Library, the list goes on and on! What I apprecaite about Jcamp 180 and this site is that they work with all Jewish camps to make them more sustainable. This is a powerful model of Jewish unity. This type of program will help ensure Jewish continuity!

    Check out Deborah's nephew rockin it in Israel. He is at Ramah Outdoor Adventure right now with my two kids. He's an amazing musician and we also look alike. But there's 15 years difference. I posted his picture on my facebook page. Have you ever met someone Jewish who looked exactly like you? Do you love playing the game Jewish geography? What if there was an app called Jewish geography and you could actively play it with people all over the world? This would be good for the Jewish community. Stick.com is kind of like that. Enjoy this great Jewish music!

    Setting up classrooms, teachers gather and collect authentic materials to foster opportunities for children to make sense of their world. In Jewish schools, these authentic materials can take the form of Jewish ritual objects.* Guiding the use of these materials are three questions: What is the Jewish world we want our children to see?

      It is so interesting to me that she was in a traditional Jewish camp environment and her impulse to increase the learning quality was to integrate technology - it shows how clearly of a different generation I am. It is also interesting to see how it made sense to Behrman House to bring the game out of that specific environment into those where we might more typically expect technology and Jewish education to intersect.

    I sent this out to my school famlies last week when behrman house sent their email out. I love this game. It's an innovative way to combine fun and Jewish values. When I play Jenga with my kids, I like to put Jewish values on each block and when they pick a block or remove a block from the tower, they have to say how the Jewish midah applies to their life or situation. I think it's also interesting to see how Behrman House is amping up their technology. Like I said in a previous post, they also have a new Online Learning Center as well. The new fad of technology is becoming the new norm.

    To what extent and in what ways do trips to Israel by Jewish high school students influence their decisions, years later, to marry a Jewish person and raise Jewish children? Understanding the import and value of teen trips to Israel will play an important role in determining the nature and level of anticipated increased support for such endeavors.

I find this website useful for students to look up basic information about many topics. It has been especially useful with our international Chinese students who have no background in Judaism, Jewish history or often, western religion at all.
