Rosh Chodesh Group (Kislev)

Our Rosh Chodesh group, founded by Ruth Reidbord, has been meeting in members’ homes for more than 18 years. We open with introductions, candle-lighting and wine blessings. The heart of the meeting is a lively and provocative discussion of a short story, essay, memoir or midrash (creative interpretation of a Biblical or Talmudic story) written by a Jewish woman, occasionally including a Skype call with the author. We close with a song and refreshments. All Temple Sinai women are welcome! Please join us for learning, community, and inspiration.

Host: Rhoda Eligator 
Discussion Leader: Eileen Yacknin
Hannah Rosin, “When Death Rocks Your World, Maybe You Jump Out of a Plane” (memoir) on Invisibilia: NPR and Invisibilia website
Her father died the year before; her mother can’t get over it but, unadventurous as she has always been, decides that skydiving is what she needs to do (her husband had been a paratrooper in the Israeli army, and she figures someday they’ll meet up again up there). So she asks her height-fearing daughter to go skydiving with her… moving short memoir.
