'The PJ Library' Jewish Identity Initiative, Inspired by Dolly Parton Children's Book Gifting Program, Gets $2.5 Million Grant from Grinspoon Foundation

A $2.5 Grant from Grinspoon Foundation will enable The PJ Library to expand its reach to 10,000 children by 2008. The highly successful family Jewish identity-building initiative modeled itself after Dolly Parton's Imagination Library children's book gifting program. Philanthropist Harold Grinspoon brought the Imagination Library to Western Massachusetts, then was inspired to adapt the concept to the Jewish Community, to build Jewish identity in young intermarried and unaffiliated Jewish families. The PJ Library mails a year's worth of free-of-charge, brand new, age-appropriate Jewish children's books and music CDs to more than 5,300 children ages six months to six years, operating in over 35 cities and towns nationwide (PRWeb Jun 4, 2007)
