Welcome Baby!

The Families Program of Jewish Federation & Family Services (JFFS) is excited to welcome new babies into the OC Jewish community!

Whether you’re an expectant parent or a new parent, we are here for YOU! Our goal is to help OC families raising Jewish children (affiliated, non-affiliated, interfaith, or nontraditional) celebrate the arrival of their newborn and learn about resources in our community.

Be sure to check out our JFFS Resource Guide for Families with Babies and Young Children.

FREE Jewish Books for Your Family

One of our most popular programs, PJ Library sends a FREE Jewish children's book to your doorstep every month!

Jewish-content books, as well as music, are free to children age six months through eight years. All OC families with a Jewish child within this age range are eligible to receive them. Made possibly bythe national PJ Library/the Harold Grinspoon Foundation organization and generous donors to Jewish Federation & Family Services of Orange County, these books go to more than 1,200 families throughout Orange County every year.

Books are about Jewish holidays, folk tales, and values like being kind to others. They're kid-tested, age appropriate, and beautifully illustrated! You'll love them as much as your kids do. 

If you have questions, please contact us at PJLibrary@JFFS.org.
