Welcome to PJ Library Bergen East!
Here, you aren’t just joining a program to receive books; you are stepping into a vibrant, loving family, and we want you to feel that this community is truly yours. We are a beautiful tapestry of diverse families, brought together by shared Jewish values, joyful traditions, and the simple magic of connecting with one another.
In heartfelt partnership with the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades and our incredible community partners, we create spaces where your family can belong. Whether we are singing together at Tot Shabbat, building lifelong memories during holiday celebrations, or exploring Jewish values, our greatest joy is sharing these moments with you. But the true heartbeat of our chapter is your voice. We love brainstorming new Get Together ideas with you and hearing your feedback for the future, because our most important goal is ensuring every single family finds their unique place here.
Our vision is beautifully anchored by the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades, which serves as the vibrant center of Jewish life in our area. Deeply rooted in Jewish tradition, the JCC is a welcoming home that embraces every generation. Together, we are devoted to nurturing the social, intellectual, physical, and spiritual well-being of everyone who walks through our doors.
There is a seat at the table just for you. Come write the next chapter of our story with us!

Learn MorePJ Get Togethers
When you host a Get Together, you’ll invite a few families you know to your home, a hiking trail, or anywhere else for a Jewishly inspired good time. Choose the kind of gathering that works best for you, whether that’s a grownups-only Shabbat evening affair, a bring-the-kids holiday picnic in the park, a volunteering project with PJ Our Way tweens, or one of many other creative options.

INCREASING YOUTH ATTENDANCE AT JEWISH CAMPS is a goal of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation (HGF). That is why, in partnership with Foundation for Jewish Camp (FJC), HGF has designed a program to encourage families to send their children to Jewish overnight camp for the first time.
