The Rosh Chodesh program is an informal woman's
group that meets monthly at member's homes or the synagogue. Our goal is to
examine women's perspectives of Jewish life and traditions throughout the
generations as well as to connect with other Jewish women in our community.
It is a place to nurture ourselves and our spirits and to connect with
those in past and future generations.
Anyone is welcome, regardless of age or affiliation. You don't have to be an
Oseh Shalom member. Our members range from young
moms to new grandmas, singles and widows. Subscribe to our yahoo group
