PJ family spotlight

By Alicia Feldman, PJ Library Coordinator

How long have they been in Naples? Joel and Mia Hyatt both moved to Naples in 2005 after graduating college. Joel went to Penn State and Mia went to University of Florida Synagogue: Temple Shalom Jewish community involvement: Now that the kids are getting older, Joel and Mia feel they have been able to get more involved in the Jewish community.

Ezra began Sunday school this year and loves it. The twins love to go to Shalom Yeladim and attend preschool at Temple Shalom. All three love to go to the PJ Library events. They even had the opportunity to host a challah-making event at their house before the pandemic.

The Hyatt family recently attended its first family service at Temple Shalom for Yom Kippur and really enjoyed worshipping with other families.

What they have to say about PJ Library books: “We love to receive our PJ Library books. We all sit on the couch and read the new book each month. It is especially fun when it coordinates with an upcoming holiday.”
