Hey PJ Library friends, get your menorahs ready and please post a picture this SUNDAY. It's super easy and a great way to help our community. Let's spread some light, spread some love...and help our campaign in the process! The posting guidelines are below. Thank you and Happy Chanukkah and Shabbat Shalom 😍

✨ Let’s fight against antisemitism by spreading some light! For every person who posts a picture of their 8th night menorah and tags JewishColumbus, $18 will go towards supporting our Annual Campaign and our important work of combatting antisemitism.

All you have to do is:
1) Post a picture of your 8th night menorah on Dec. 25
2) Tag JewishColumbus
3) Add

The more people who tag JewishColumbus in menorah posts, the greater our collective impact! We can't wait to see your photos. Happy Hannukah!

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.

11/13/2020

Shabbat Shalom, Columbus!

Our community's safety is important to all of us and we can do these basic things to stop the spread of COVID-19:

➡️ WASH YOUR HANDS
Use soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.

➡️ PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING
Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arms’ length) from other people. Keeping distance from others is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick.

➡️ WEAR YOUR MASK
Everyone should wear a mask in public settings and when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.
