The Kehillah Partnership and The PJ Library® of Northern New Jersey presented its first community-wide event on January 17, showcasing kids’ indie-rock band, Milkshake, for 650 children and adults at the Bergen Academies Auditorium.

Before the show, which was made possible by a grant from The Russell Berrie Foundation, children participated in a community service activity by decorating PJ Library tote bags to be donated to the Woodcliff Lake Health and Rehabilitation Center and other area nursing homes.

YJCC Nursery School students, all of whom attended the concert, display a sampling of the bags to be donated. The PJ Library is a program for Jewish families with young children.
Each month, every child enrolled in The PJ Library—PJ as in pajamas—receives a free, age-appropriate Jewish-themed book or CD. Thus far, more than 1,500 children, ages six months to five-and-a-half years, in Bergen, western Passaic and northern Hudson counties, have been enrolled.
