About Our Community
Athens, Georgia, which is located in Northeast Georgia 70 miles from Atlanta, is the home of the University of Georgia (as well as R.E.M., The B 52's, and Kim Basinger!). Congregation of Children Israel, the funder of The PJ Library, is a Reform congregation that reaches out to the diverse Jewish population in the greater Athens area. We are a small community with approximately 140 affiliated members.
Local PJ Partner
Congregation Children of Israel, its sisterhood, and some of its members have joined with the Harold Grinspoon Foundation to support The PJ Library for children in the greater Athens GA area for the year 5768.
Sign Up
Currently, funding is available for 45 children in the greater Athens, GA area. The program is open to the whole community; families do not have to be members of Congregation Children of Israel in order to participate. We will maintain a waiting list and seek additional funding for children on the waiting list. Our program covers the entire cost of the books for children from 6 months to 6 years for the first year. After that time, we will evaluate the program.
