    Book Club: The Book of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel

    Tuesday, May 31 - 7:00PM 
    ZOOM Information will be sent out on May 27. 


    Book synopsis: This book is based on the true story of the document forgers who aided the secret underground French resistance in helping thousands of Jewish children escape to the safety of neutral Switzerland. Set against the backdrop of one of history’s most evil periods, The Book of Lost Names questions the morality of people during war, the power of love and relationships, and the protection of individual identity.

    Books are available to borrow through Federation's front office. Please call for details.

Bringing families together through Jewish learning—one free book at a time.

Jewish futures start with us. At the Jewish Federation of Northwest Indiana, we connect young families to the programs and people that help them not only launch, but continue, their Jewish journeys.

PJ Library® is a unique, FREE program that seeks to encourage Jewish families with young children to explore Jewish literature.

Each month, PJ Library® sends an age-appropriate Jewish content book or CD
--free of charge--to enrolled children from birth to age seven and a half years.

The Jewish Federation of Northwest Indiana sponsors PJ Library® enrollments for children who are:
  • being raised Jewish or with some kind of Jewish identity (interfaith families are encouraged!)
  • residents of Lake, Porter, or LaPorte County, Indiana
  • from birth to 7-1/2 years​ of age
Sign Up for PJ Library!
​PJ Library® was created by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation (HGF), and is funded by local philanthropists and organizations in partnership with HGF. ​

FAQ's 

What does PJ stand for?
​Pajamas! We know those special times of reading, dancing and singing together happen when your children are wearing their pajamas.
Who is eligible to register?
​A child may be enrolled from birth up to 7-1/2 years old if they (a) have at least one Jewish parent or grandparent AND (b) currently reside in Lake, Porter, or LaPorte County, Indiana.  Enroll Now »
What’s the cost?
​PJ Library® is free when your child is enrolled in the program, due to our generous local donors. 
What's next once my child ages out of PJ Library?
A second stage of the program called PJ Our Way mails free books to Jewish children ages 8-1/2 to 12. Better still, YOU get to choose your own book each month!  Sign Up for PJ Our Way »
