Rosh Chodesh Celebration for Women

"תתחָדְשי" (“Tit’chadshi”) 

The invitation to “Tit’chadshi” renews an ancient women’s custom – once a month, taking a pause to celebrate human and feminine renewal. Each session focuses on the new month and its qualities. We explore knowledge, culture, and tradition in connection with the cycles of the year, the month, and the body.
We share our personal stories and the stories of other women, from near and far history. All this takes place in an experience of learning, shared study, and communal meal. Led by Hila Tuchmacher-Meshali, Reut Hamer with a rotating facilitator/lecturer from the community
