Families
Helping to make your parenting journey an enriching and joyful Jewish experience
Connecting families who have young children is at the heart of The Network. Whether through community gatherings, small group get togethers or access to Jewish resources, there are countless opportunities to get involved.
Parent Connectors
Parent Connectors play a key role in driving family engagement. They get to know parents personally and bring families together—whether they live in the same neighborhood, share similar interests, or have children in the same preschool, day school or synagogue. Our Parent Connectors can’t wait to meet you and your family!

Family Resources
PJ Library & PJ Our Way
Through the Jewish Connection Network, families across Baltimore receive their free, high-quality PJ Library books each month thanks to the incredible generosity of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation. Older children can even select their own PJ Our Way books—Jewish stories written just for their age group. These thoughtful books bring Jewish joy, connection and meaningful moments straight into your home while inspiring learning, celebration and a deeper sense of belonging. We’re proud to invest in your family’s Jewish journey, one beautiful and memorable story at a time.
