Rosh Chodesh Women’s Group

For our first session on Sunday, October 11 (1 Cheshvan) at 7:00 p.m., we are excited to offer a program:

“Living a Balanced Life/Self Care Is Not Selfish".

To start the new year off right, make time for this one and bring a friend!

Hebrew for “head of the month”, Rosh Chodesh 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.

We meet monthly at CMI from 7-8:30 PM on or around the beginning of each new Hebrew month. Exact dates and topics are published in the bulletin and calendar. Newcomers are always welcome. We ask that you RSVP for security purposes.
