In this episode of The Rabbi & the Other Guy, Dr. Matt Schocket and Rabbi Daniel Septimus sit down with Jessica McCormick, Director of Family Experience for PJ Library at the Harold Grinspoon Foundation. Jessica shares the story and mission of PJ Library—how it began, how it continues to grow like a startup, and how it succeeds in putting Jewish books into the hands of children and families across the country.

She also highlights the Library’s innovative microgrant program, its creative approach to expanding reach and impact, and how her role provides insight into Jewish migration patterns across the U.S. in the wake of major events. It’s a fascinating look at how stories shape communities—and how PJ Library is helping to write the next chapter of Jewish life.
