PJ Library® in South Palm Beach County, in partnership with the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County, invites families to come together for a fun afternoon as we Celebrate Israel. Taking place on Sunday, May 4, 2025, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Patch Reef Park, PJ Library will celebrate together as a community offering engaging ways for families to learn Israeli culture, heritage, and community.
The event will feature bounce houses, hands-on crafts, mitzvah projects, Israeli music, food trucks, and special interactive activities with the Shinshinim, Israeli young ambassadors who bring Israel to life through cultural engagement and storytelling.
“This event is a wonderful opportunity for families to come together in celebration of Israel,” said Elana Ostroff, Director of PJ Library and Family Engagement. “Through music, crafts, and interactive activities, children and families can deepen their connection to Israeli culture, experience the joy of community and show their Jewish pride.”
PJ Library, a program that provides free Jewish books to families with young children, is dedicated to creating opportunities for families to engage in Jewish learning and community events. Celebrate Israel is a signature event that reflects PJ Library’s commitment to fun, family-friendly experiences that bring Jewish values and traditions to life.
