About Keren Grinspoon Israel

Keren Grinspoon Israel (KGI) was founded by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation (HGF) in 2009. HGF established, directs and operates the PJ Library international program in more than 36 countries in six different languages. The programs in Israel – Sifriyat Pijama and Maktabat Al-Fanoos – are implemented by KGI in cooperation with the Israel Ministry of Education, and the Price Family Philanthropies is also a strategic funder of Maktabat Al-Fanoos. Through Sifriyat Pijama and Maktabat Al-Fanoos, KGI aims to instill in children a love of reading books and to encourage discussion of educational values and heritage both in the classroom and in the home, while simultaneously bolstering literacy. KGI provides quality books to hundreds of thousands of children from kindergarten through second grade, nurturing an affinity for reading, values, and heritage and creating a broad cultural common denominator among children and families in Israel. Sifriyat Pijama is active in pre-schools, kindergartens, and schools that operate within the framework of state, state-religious, and special education. Maktabat Al-Fanoos runs in all state pre-schools, kindergartens, and schools. When the "book of the month" arrives at the kindergarten or school, the educators read the book to the children, and after choosing one of the suggested creative and experiential activities, each child receives a copy to take home – a gift for the family library. For the past few years, Sifriyat Pijama and Maktabat Al-Fanoos have been operating in about 14,000 kindergartens and schools nationally, reaching more than 500,000 children. Kindergarten children receive eight books as a gift during the school year and first- and second-graders each receive four books.
