We are now in Elul as we prepare our hearts for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur

ROSH CHODESH ELUL: "I AM MY BELOVED'S"

Thursday evening begins the second day of Rosh Chodesh and the first day of the new month of Elul. The word Elul in Hebrew, אלול, is an acronym of the verse - "אני לדודי ודודי לי - I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine," from Song of Songs 6:3. The verse, which describes belonging and connection and fidelity and love between Israel and HaShem, is the perfect description for the month of Elul, whose essence is that of drawing close to HaShem, renewing and reinvigorating our love and dedication to HaShem, and working on making ourselves worthy receptacles of HaShem's love and light.

Chodesh tov - have a very good month of Elul!

Rosh Chodesh Elul:  An Affinity Healing Circle for Non-Men

Led by Rachel Abrams (she/her)

Thursday August 20 @ 7:30 PM EST

Sign up here!  (It’s free!)

Description below

Legend has it that at Mount Sinai, the matriarchs of our tradition were gifted with an extra day each month to take off from work, engage in study, and celebrate each other’s fabulosity and friendship.  This sacred day is called Rosh Chodesh, the first of the Hebrew month.

Let's reclaim this ancient practice together in a radically loving and radically inclusive, supportive online space for women and non-men to celebrate a new lunar cycle and the Hebrew month of Elul!

Join Rachel for an intimate evening learning about the origins of Rosh Chodesh, connecting with new friends, and reflecting on Jewish themes in the month of Elul.

We will prepare our souls and our hearts with loving care for the coming High Holy Days, and begin to build a foundation for our Rosh Chodesh ritual to continue each month.

Please bring a candle with you for our Zoom ritual.

*While the origins of Rosh Chodesh rituals center female bodies and menstruation, we aim to create a space that is welcoming for people of all bodies and all gender identities/expressions who find meaning in the holiday!
