Rosh Chodesh Kislev

Rosh Chodesh, translated as the “head of the month”, is a time to mark the start of a new month in the Jewish calendar. Historically, it is a minor holiday where women would refrain from work. Each month we gather to explore a variety of relevant topics in a creative and thought-provoking celebration. All adult JRC members or individuals considering membership (13 years and older), who identify as women, are welcome to participate. This month’s program will be hybrid, both in-person at JRC and on Zoom.

Linda Mathias Kaskel and Tamar Frolichstein-Appel will be leading our service and study this month.  As we welcome Kislev, the month that brings us closer to the light of Hanukkah, we find ourselves between two meaningful moments: an encouraging midterm election and the celebration of Thanksgiving. We will come together to reflect on our identities as women, Jews, and Americans and explore how these parts of who we are intersect, shape our experiences, and influence our sense of belonging.

If you will be attending in person, please consider bringing something to share for the Oneg after the service.
