Join us at Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona’s Northwest Division office for a one-hour get-together. We’ll have story time featuring PJ Library books followed by snacks. Every session has a different theme! We have guest readers and guitar players, seasonal crafts, outdoor play and more! Meet other Jewish parents, grandparents and caretakers. Most of our children are newborn through age 5, but all ages and abilities are welcome. Our group is growing and not complete without you!

An Arizona living legend, Dolan Ellis has been delighting audiences since he was first appointed the title of Arizona’s Official State Balladeer by Governor Sam Goddard in 1966. His vast repertoire of informative and often hilarious poems, folk songs and stories of life in the 48th state have made him a beloved and enduring audience favorite.
In this program, Ellis shares musical holiday cheer, Arizona legend and lore, and a remembrance of our Pearl Harbor veterans.
