Rosh Chodesh, the day/s that celebrate the arrival of the new Jewish month, has long been recognized as a woman's holiday. Why do women merit a special holiday once a month? In the incident of the Golden Calf, the women had faith in G‑d and refused to relinquish their jewelry and take part in the creation of the calf. As a reward, G‑d gave them an extra holiday each month.
In communities throughout the world women gather together on Rosh Chodesh for study, discussion, spiritual creativity and fellowship. Join us here in Niagara for the next gathering of the Rosh Chodesh Society and become a part of this wonderful tradition.
