What is Rosh Chodesh?
Rosh Chodesh is a celebratory service marking the new moon and the beginning of a new Hebrew month. It symbolizes renewal, reflection, and fresh beginnings. Additionally, Rosh Chodesh holds an important place in Jewish feminist ritual and is seen by many as a sacred holiday for women.
Details: It is considered a minor holiday. There are no restrictions on work (except on Shabbat). Rosh Chodesh can be one-day or two days in duration. It has the regular attributes of a daily morning service (Pesukey, Shachrit, and Musaf) with some special additions. These additions are Hallel (psalms of praise) and a special Torah reading.

Wednesday, Jan 28th 6:30p to 7:30p
Avodat Lev, meaning “heart work”, is a songful, contemplative prayer practice that follows the format of the weekday services in a mix of simple chants, meditations, and poetry in Hebrew and English. The practice is meant to guide us in greeting the afternoon/evening, acknowledging our own holiness and our connection to the holiness of Creation, expressing gratitude, and setting an intention for the month/ season ahead. Avodat Lev was developed by the Adamah program at Isabella Freedman. No prior prayer knowledge or practice is required and all are welcome. -
