CMI’s Rosh Chodesh

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

Wednesday, October 22 at 7:00 p.m.
Hebrew for “head of the month” – is the monthly holiday that celebrates the arrival of the new moon. Our  intergenerational group provides for all 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.
 
Rhea Hirschman will be leading us in: Making Waves: Jewish women and the feminist movement. “Given that Jews are only about three percent of the U.S. population, Jewish women have been disproportionately represented among the pioneers of American feminism. In this session, we’ll look at some history, discuss how feminism and Judaism inform each other, and consider factors that led so many Jewish women to be agents of change.”

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