For women, Rosh Chodesh, the first day of the new month, is considered a mini-holiday as a reward for not having been willing to participate in the sin of the Golden Calf.
Women had the ability to see beyond the very frightening situation the Jewish people experienced after Moses went up to receive the Torah and tarried on his way back.
Like the moon, becoming brighter and bigger only after it disappears completely into darkness, they knew that better times were on the way. It was impossible to them that God would leave them stranded after having just received the Torah 40 days earlier. They were willing to believe in the power of renewal and trust God no matter how difficult things seemed.
This event is organized in the beginning of every Jewish month. It is held in different locations and has different guest speakers.

As baalei teshuva, our parenting journey holds unique challenges.
"How to Talk So Kids Will Listen" is a terrific book. But as Jewish parents, we're not value-neutral. We have a specific, beautiful heritage that we want to pass on to our kids. We want to raise children who are deeply committed Jews, with a genuine love for Yiddishkeit.
Finding a blueprint for this task is tough. We often can't rely on our own parents' methods. And we can't simply mirror our friends. They themselves might be on similar journeys.
We crave a clear, practical roadmap to raise balanced, well-adjusted children, continually inspired by their Yiddishkeit.
That's where "Spare the Child'' by Rabbi Yechiel Yaakovson comes in. This book distills Rabbi Yaakovson's decades of chinuch experience into a structured approach for raising children who find their own motivation in Yiddishkeit. It's not just about day-to-day instructions, but shaping the mindset and character of a Jewish parent.
This class meets Tuesdays, 8:45 PM
