Evan and Bari Jacobson with their children, Dylan, 8 1/2 and Ryan, 5 1/2.
We asked Evan & Bari Jacobson about their favorite Jewish activities, their connection to Jewish community, and the ways jkidphilly has impacted their family.
What do you enjoy about jkidphilly?
I (Bari) am the Parent Ambassador for the Lower Bucks County Area and my family enjoys coming to my programs. My daughter always asks if she is able to be my helper. It’s very sweet! My children love getting books in the mail each month and reading our new books.
What kind of Jewish activities do you enjoy at home?
My family enjoys going to the JRA as well as the Baby Bureau to volunteer. We have done this with jkidphilly families, which is so special. We also enjoy making challah and of course eating it!
What are your favorite PJ Library books?
There are so many PJ Library books that we enjoy reading, it’s hard to list them all. Here are some of our favorites:
-
Five Little Gefiltes – This book is so funny and we enjoy the Yiddish that’s included throughout the book.
-
The Purim Superhero – It’s important to be who you are and not to hide it to fit in.
-
This is the Challah– A cute book about making challah the way Bubbe made it.
-
Sadie’s Sukkah Breakfast– I love how the kids bring their stuffed animals into the sukkah because they knew it was customary to include friends. So sweet!
