Rosh Hodesh Women's Group

Facilitated by Rabbis Felicia L. Sol and Esther Lederman, Marshall T. Meyer Fellow. Each new month on the Hebrew calendar, we will have an opportunity to study, discuss, celebrate and pray together on this holiday traditionally associated with women. Registration is not required. Please bring a dairy/vegetarian kosher snack to share with the group as part of the celebration of Rosh Hodesh.

Cost: Free; registration not required

  • Heshvan: Sunday, October 26. Save the date as we celebrate Rosh Hodesh Heshvan with a day trip to the Mayyim Hayyim Living Waters Community Mikveh and Education Center in Boston. Opened in 2004, Mayyim Hayyim is a unique center for Jewish spirituality and learning that reclaims the ancient tradition of mikveh and reinvents the rituals of immersion to serve the needs of a diverse 21st century Jewish community. After a tour of the mikveh we will enjoy lunch in the area before returning back to New York.
