This gathering is designed for a Rosh Hodesh group’s initial meeting. It introduces participants to the concept of Rosh Hodesh and rituals associated with the holiday. In this meeting, participants start working toward creating a comfortable and supportive environment for the group. While getting to know each other, they will also spend time reflecting on their own identities and how those identities change based on context (e.g. at school versus at home, at Rosh Hodesh, etc).
At the end of the session participants will be able to:
- Feel more connected and comfortable with the rest of the group
- Identify key elements of Rosh Hodesh
- Describe what to expect from the Rosh Hodesh program
- Describe their identities, and how they portray themselves in different contexts
- Relationship Building
- Self-care
- Mental Health
- Women in Judaism / Feminism
- Well-being
- Supportive Conversations
- After School and Beyond
- Day Schools and Yeshivas
