Grants help families ‘Get Together’

THE GET TOGETHER program grants families raising Jewish children up to $100 to share Jewish experiences with neighbors, family members, and friends.

The program is available to members of PJ Library and PJ Our Way, through which the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, with support and funding from the Jewish Federation in the Heart of New Jersey, sends free Jewish books and music each month to more than 3,000 area youngsters.

Get Together aims to build social connections among families and encourage engagement in Jewish life and learning. Parents can organize Shabbat- and holiday-themed experiences, baking or crafts sessions, book clubs, and adults-only evenings.

Families living in Monmouth and Middlesex counties may apply for as many as three Get Together grants for events to take place before April 30.
