Temple Beth El Rosh Chodesh Women's Group

For generations, women have been associated with the moon. Some associate the moon’s monthly cycle with that of women’s cycles. Others refer to a story from Rabbinic literature (midrash) which explains that when Aaron asked the Israelites to give up their jewelry to create the Golden Calf, the women refused to be part of this idolatrous act. Their reward was a monthly holiday - Rosh Chodesh - where women were to be treated to a minor holiday and prayers were added to the daily services. As we seek to make old traditions new, TBE created a Rosh Chodesh group for women. Together, as a collaborative effort led by Rabbi Braun, we explore our tradition and our identities as women. No experience is necessary, all are welcome.
