PJ Library Plans a Cookbook Fundraiser
The PJ Library is known for delivering free, high-quality Jewish books and CDs to young children’s mailboxes each month. Now, The PJ Library is moving into the kitchen.
To raise funds to support this popular program, The PJ Library is planning a cookbook, and the committee has issued a call for kosher-style recipes. Each recipe submission must be printed on an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper, with ingredients separated from the directions. You may include the name of your child’s favorite PJ Library book at the bottom.
Please be sure to include your name and contact information, in case there are questions regarding the recipe. You may submit more than one recipe for consideration, but the committee cannot guarantee they will all be printed. All members of the community are encouraged to submit recipes.
