[HANASHIR:6941] Re: Women's Rosh Chodesh

[Rachelle and Howard Shubert <notfranz...>]

Shirona,

We have a lively and active Rosh Chodesh group which has been meeting monthly 
for almost 2 years.  It takes a great deal of dedication and energy from the 
leadership to keep it going.  As is often the case, there is one tireless 
volunteer who makes sure it happens monthly.  There is always a nice little 
turnout and a cozy, meaningful service.  We use a standard Women of Reform 
Judaism as a base  and take off from there.  Each month's theme is a reflection 
of the meaning of the Jewish month.  We have had our own lifecycle ceremonies, 
healing services and discussions.  We choose from our wonderful Reform 
songwriters' music.  I have forwarded your message to the person who usually 
organizes the services and events.  Good luck with your plan.

  Hi everyone,
   
  Any of you have experience with Women's Rosh Chodesh groups?  A format, 
sources for ideas, music of course, or any suggestions on this topic would be 
greatly appreciated.  I'm thinking of starting such a group in Lower 
Westchester County, NY.
   
  Much obliged...
