We invite women of all ages and stages to join us. Our gatherings are always fun, insightful, a chance to connect with others, and an opportunity for spiritual growth. Lili Feingold guides our conversation and learning.

This Month: Happy Chanukah!

Join us in celebration with a trip around the world! We’ll explore how the Festival of Lights is celebrated in other countries, as well as examine different styles of chanukiyot (Chanukah candelabras). Please have your favorite chanukiah on hand to share with the group. Tell us the backstory or a favorite memory associated with your special artifacts! Also, please be ready to share your favorite Chanukah traditions with the group. And, of course, we’ll light our chanukiyot as our evening begins.

 

Join us for a light, festive and illuminating evening.

Bring your own snacks, glass of wine, latkes, jelly donuts, etc.

About Rosh Chodesh:

The first of each Jewish month—the celebration of the new moon, its slender crescent barely visible in the night sky—is a day historically associated with women’s renewal and celebration. In recent decades, Rosh Chodesh has become an occasion for Jewish women to gather for learning, ritual, and spiritual exploration, and to mark life passages.

A Rosh Chodesh group can provide a unique opportunity for women to share experiences. Talking about the joys and challenges of relationships with significant others, family and friends; the need for a spiritual dimension in our day-to-day lives; experiences with death and mourning; our Jewish upbringing, choice to be Jewish or grappling with the questions of those who are experiencing an inter-religious relationship–all are potential themes to explore. Sharing our unique stories allows each of us to broaden our own knowledge while creating a bond between group members.

We hope to have women of all ages. We believe that our diversity will be our greatest strength and allow us to learn and grow from one another. Our Rosh Chodesh group plans to meet monthly, in various homes, and offer women an exclusive and meaningful opportunity.
