“It would not surprise me if there is at least one parent in our small community reading a PJ Library book to his or her child every single night of the year. Do you know what that means to a small congregation? Every single night, there is a child in our community who is laughing, learning and experiencing what it is to be Jewish. Even better, they are getting that experience from the teachers who mean the most to them -- their parents.”—Rabbi from North Adams, MA

About Our Community

The mission of the Tampa JCC & Federation is to support and enrich the continuity of Jewish life and values in our community, in Israel, and throughout the world.

Local PJ Partner

The PJ Library program in Tampa is generously funded by the Tampa JCC & Federation and the 1818 Philanthropic Circle.

The PJ Library program is available free for the first year to children between the ages of 6 months and 51/2 years living in Hillsborough and Central and East Pasco counties. After the first 24 months, if the PJ Library has become a meaningful part of your family life, you will have the opportunity to re-enroll your children with a small donation of $18.00. This will help offset costs so that others in the community can receive PJ Library books.

Thanks to the generosity of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation and our local funders, we are currently able to offer the program to 450 children.

Enrollees will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis. Additional applicants will be placed on a waiting list as we secure additional funding to bring this wonderful program to all Jewish children in our community.

Friends and family members who live in the Tampa area may sponsor a child from out of town for $60 per child per year.
