Rosh Chodesh Group

We are the Rosh Chodesh Group for women at Ohr Kodesh. Our monthly meetings are a warm space for reflection, renewal, and camaraderie, and a time to pursue both our intellectual curiosity and our creativity as individuals and as a community. We encourage anyone wishing to be included in this circle of Jewish women of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences to join us. All are welcome!

For more information, if you have an idea for a program or have questions, please contact either Melanie Dankowicz or Tamara Halle.
