Rosh Chodesh Women’s Spirituality Group
Starting in September, women are invited to join
TBT’s monthly Rosh Chodesh (New Moon) prayer group. Rosh Chodesh is a
biblical holiday that sanctifies the appearance of the first sliver of
moon each month, symbolizing renewal and the cycle of life. Since the
Middle Ages, it has been set apart as a holiday particularly important
to women, for a variety of historical and religious reasons. Almost
neglected by women during the last century or so, Rosh Chodesh was
revived as a spiritual focus for women during the feminist movement of
the 1970s. Today, it offers a varied forum for prayer, study and
discussion of issues of particular concern to women. There is no fee to
participate.
