Havdalah in Pajamas! Join other PJ Families across the nation for a fun and low key Pajama Havdalah - hosted by National PJ Library (not local). Come learn about what Havdalah is all about. More info and registration link below: PJ Library Pajama Havdalah Saturday, January 16th | 7 pm EST... If you enjoy looking for stars in the sky, inhaling the sweet fragrant of spices, and like to watch flames dance, then do we have a program for you! Join PJ Library’s National Community and the PJ Library Families Facebook group as we celebrate Havdalah, this beautiful ritual, and welcome the new week together, while wearing our favorite pajamas. Havdalah, or separation in Hebrew, is Shabbat’s closing ritual, when three stars appear on Saturday evening. In a simple multi-sensory ceremony, with blessings over lights, wine or grape juice, and spices, Havdalah is an inspiring way to end Shabbat and start the new week as a family.
