CMI’s Rosh Chodesh

  • Congregation Mishkan Israel 785 Ridge Road Hamden, CT, 06517 United States (map)

Rosh Chodesh Adar

Sunday, February 18 at 7:00 p.m.

Rosh Chodesh, Hebrew for “head of the month” is the monthly holiday that celebrates the arrival of the new moon, marking the start of a new month in the Jewish calendar. In biblical times, Rosh Chodesh was a day of festive meals and refraining from doing business. Later, it became a special holiday for women.

CMI’s intergenerational group provides for female identifying and non-binary individuals thirteen and older a place to meet, form bonds, find meaningful ways to worship and contribute to our community through discussion, song, poetry, storytelling, art, dance, and even food. Programs are themed, based on the interests of group members.

Stay tuned for more details about this gathering.
