Rosh Chodesh Society:
The Rosh Chodesh Society is a sisterhood dedicated to inspiring and empowering Jewish women through monthly cultural learning experiences. The upcoming course is entitled Portrait of a Woman: Seven Dimensions of the Feminine Mystique. Portrait takes women on an in-depth exploration (texts from the mystics, Kabbalah and Tanya) of seven uniquely feminine strengths and abilities, examining ways in which women can activate and apply them in their day-to-day life.
I am excited about this new learning opportunity, and hope you join mein this venture! Keep your eyes open for more forthcoming information, as well as for the flyer which came in the mail just last week.
RCS meetings are once a month, 7:30pm at the Chabad Jewish Center. Refreshments will be served.
Suggested donation: $10.
