Rosh Chodesh
|
Join the women of Kol Tikvah
for the observance of Rosh
Chodesh, the new Hebrew
month. Debbie Hafetz,
Director of Lifelong
Learning will facilitate
these spiritual celebrations
in accordance with the
tradition of Rosh Chodesh
being a holiday exclusively
for women.
Music, sharing, study and
refreshments combine to make
a warm and nurturing
experience.

According to the Mishnah,
Jewish women were given Rosh Chodesh (the Festival of the New Moon) as a
reward for their refusal to participate in the Golden Calf episode.
Therefore, it is a custom for Jewish women not to do certain types of work
on this day.
Today, across the USA
and all around the world, many women get together on Rosh Chodesh for study
and prayer, for socializing and spiritual renewal. Our own Kol Tikvah Rosh
Chodesh Group is now in its fourth year. We meet once a month for a short
service, followed on a different book of the Hebrew Bible.
Please note that the
Rosh Chodesh group is open to women only.
