ADDITIONAL PASSOVER INFORMATION AND ACTIVITIES

If you’ve got young children, PJ Library is a useful resource to teach them about the history and customs behind holidays like Passover. PJ Library is a “Jewish Family Engagement Program” that provides useful educational resources for Jewish families “to explore the timeless core values of Judaism through books and music.” It is free to participate, and children typically receive one book or CD each month. In San Antonio, through partnerships with multiple Jewish organizations and agencies, all families raising Jewish children ages six months to seven years are eligible to participate.

Visit my 2015 post Passover Events in San Antonio for more engaging links including: where to purchase plague masks and a Passover enrichment setcrafts for kids, and a list of Passover apps, games, and cartoons.

Visit H.E.B.’s Passover page for a list of kosher products and recipes and to see locations that carry kosher items.

Ashley
Ashley is a back-up dancer for circa 1989 Janet Jackson in her dreams and a mother of two preschoolers in her waking life. An Alamo City native, she spent her college and post-college years in TN, CA and AZ (all lovely states completely incompetent in the fine art of breakfast tacos). After crying everyday in radio sales, working next to a sheep pen at a rural telecom, being totally confused in agriculture, and completely giving up and drawing cartoons of co-workers at an online university, she finally found her calling in grant writing for a non profit arts organization. And then her husband (who, no joke, watches college football for a living) was like, “Hey! We can move to San Antonio to be closer to your family if you want to!” And then Ashley was like, “Hey! That’s good timing because remember all that drinking I was doing last week because I thought I had really bad PMS and wanted to power through it? Well, that PMS is a baby!” So they moved to S.A. and Ashley found a job with a rural non profit, but when she tried to go back to work after the baby, living on no sleep with a newborn and a traveling husband unable to share in the workload, she quickly learned she was about five seconds away from a mental breakdown. Cut to today where she is a full time mom, loving the freedom to run all over the city each day with her kids, despite a 98% decrease in her ability to pee alone/do less than 19 loads of laundry each week. She chronicles her most embarrassing childhood moments and photos at This is Me at 13-ish (http://meat13.tumblr.com), in hopes that she never forgets that as difficult as it is to be a parent, it is just as much of a struggle to be a kid.
