Noah had a big job: making room on the ark for every kind of animal, and caring for all of them along the way. In Jewish tradition, tza’ar ba’alei chayim is the idea that animals should be treated with kindness and that we should avoid causing them unnecessary suffering. It’s a value that shows up in lots of surprising places — from caring for pets to thinking about the animals we encounter in our own backyards. Below you’ll find PJ Library books, ideas, and activities to help your family explore tza’ar ba’alei chayim and make room for a little more kindness. 🐾 Join us for Popsicles on the Ark with Noah on October 18th in Keene!
