Choo Choo! Would you like to nominate a family to hop aboard the JFamily
Challah Train and receive a challah (and bag of goodies) just in time for
Shabbat? Our Parent Connectors are out in the community each week delivering a
Shabbat treat for families in need of a "warm hug" or those celebrating a new
baby or moving into a new home. Whatever the reason, we are here for you and
accepting nominations for worthy families!
Nominations are geared toward families with children ages 0-10 living in metro
Detroit. Please click the "Sign Up" button to complete your nomination.
The Challah Train initiative is generously provided by PJ Library Detroit.
