| JOIN A MOON CIRCLE GATHERING THURSDAY, JULY 20, 6:45 PM • SANDLER FAMILY CAMPUS We invite you into a tradition that spans thousands of years: a monthly holiday known as Rosh Chodesh, meaning "head of the month." In the Jewish tradition, each month begins with a new moon, and the Hebrew calendar is the way the Jewish people have kept time for millennia. This gathering is a time to connect more deeply with ourselves, each other and the sacred flow of the Hebrew calendar. For the past few centuries, Rosh Chodesh has been one of Judaism's best-kept secrets. We're breathing new life into it by coming together for self-reflection and rituals that will help us connect with this ancient legacy, learn from Jewish wisdom and embrace the unique spiritual energy of each month. The Monthly Moon Circle is presented by Konikoff Center for Learning; attending the event is free, however a $7 donation is suggested. Sign up HERE to attend the last Moon Circle Meet-Up. |
