We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of author Amalia Hoffman, z"l (zikhronah livrakha, may her memory be a blessing), pictured here (center, front) at a PJ Library event in New York last year. Many of our PJ Library colleagues worked closely with Amalia to produce several beautiful board books, including First Fruits, published by PJ Publishing last month. We are proud to have shared Amalia’s work with tens of thousands of Jewish children around the world. She will be remembered for her kindness, her infinite creativity, and her charming sense of humor. Our hearts go out to Amalia's family and friends.

"You shouldn't dream your film. You should make it." - Stephen Spielberg While the Oscars are still fresh, check out this poster from the HGF program Voices & Visions. Voices & Visions is about art, and powerful messages, combining them into posters, starting conversations, and continuing the Jewish journey. Poster by the artist Arnold Schwartzman
