Rosh Hodesh Sh'vat Celebrated by TBA Sisterhood

Rosh Hodesh is the Hebrew term for the beginning of the month on the Jewish calendar which has evolved into a women’s holiday. Temple B’nai Abraham’s Sisterhood joins together, led by Rabbi Faith Joy Dantowitz, a few times a year to welcome the new month with conversation, learning, spiritual growth, and connection. Recently, a warm evening of Sisterhood celebrating the month of Sh’vat in which the holiday of Tu B’Sh’vat occurs, the new year of the trees was enjoyed. The evening included poetry and meditation with tree themes, text study about Judaism, the environment and climate change and planting seeds of hope for the future. The next Rosh Hodesh will be on Tuesday, February 28 at 7:30 PM. Free and open to the community. For information, call Rabbi Dantowitz at 973-994-2290, ext 213. Visit www.tbanj.org.
