This year we will have two groups, a 6th grade group, led by Chana Lockerman, and a continuing 7-8th grade group, Led by Alana Tipton. Even though it is a continuing group, the girls have said that they are willing to accept new members, so any of our 7-8th grade girls can join. Rosh Hodesh: it’s a girl thing! is the first proactive, informal education program that uses Judaism to enrich the lives of girls. It draws on Jewish tradition to give girls a place to feel safe, articulate their questions and concerns, have fun, and be ‘real’ with their peers. Small groups of girls meet monthly with a carefully trained adult leader who uses our step-by-step manual. Through discussion, arts & crafts, and drama, the girls integrate core Jewish values as they focus on the things they care about most, such as body image, friendship, relationships, competition, stress, and family.
