CMI’s Rosh Chodesh Elul

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

Monday, August 25th, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.


We will use our time together to begin to prepare ourselves spiritually and emotionally for the High Holy Days as we reflect on and discuss questions of teshuvah and personal growth, looking back on the past year and envisioning the year ahead. 

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 all women. Our 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.


As always, newcomers are welcome. Please RSVP or direct any questions to julie.chevan@gmail.com.
