🚂Choo Choo! All Aboard the JFamily Challah Train!
Do you know a family who could use a little extra love this week? Maybe they
just welcomed a new baby, moved into a new home, are navigating a tough
time—or maybe they’ve just been doing something wonderful and deserve to be
celebrated. Whatever the reason, the JFamily Challah Train is ready to
roll their way with a special Shabbat surprise!
Each week, our incredible Parent Connectors deliver fresh challah and a
bag of goodies to families across Metro Detroit. It’s our way of sharing
the warmth of Shabbat and reminding families that they’re seen, supported, and
celebrated.
Whether it’s a “just because” or a meaningful milestone, the Challah Train is
a small gesture with a big heart—and now, we need your help to keep it
going!
💛 Who can you nominate?
Families with children ages 0–10 living in Metro Detroit who could use
a warm Shabbat hug.
📬 What will they receive?
A delicious challah, a thoughtful bag of Shabbat-themed goodies, and a whole
lot of love.
✅ How do you nominate someone?
Just click the “Sign Up” button below and fill out the quick form. It only
takes a minute to brighten someone’s week.
This heartfelt initiative is generously supported by PJ Library Detroit ,
and together, we’re helping families feel connected, celebrated, and cared
for.
