Rosh Chodesh Circle at P’nai Or

Contact: Rotating

The special holiday, Rosh Chodesh, marks the head of each month in the Jewish calendar. Legend says it started when the women of Israel refused to “fundraise” for the creation of the Golden Calf by donating their jewelry. Their reward was a holiday of no work on the first day of the new month. Others have connected the waxing and waning of the moon to a woman’s menstrual cycle. Whatever the reason, Rosh Chodesh Observance is a time for Jewish women and nonbinary persons to gather, recite traditional liturgy, share a meal, discuss Jewish ethics, and work for social change.

This group is welcoming to all Jewish women—including trans women—and nonbinary persons who feel comfortable in a woman-centered environment. We embrace diverse journeys to womanhood, and we recognize that our community is strengthened by the inclusion of all women, regardless of their background.

Come celebrate the holiday and meet us!
