The Rosh Chodesh Stitch Circle is a women's group that celebrates the New Moon through stitching and meets as close to Rosh Chodesh as possible (the head of the Jewish month). It is traditional for women to get together on Rosh Chodesh, welcome in the new month, and limit their labor tasks in honor of the day.
Our circle will usually light a candle for the month, listen to a new Jewish artist on CD, bond, have a sweet nosh, read some tekinnes (ancient women's prayers) and stitch with purpose. You don't have to know how to stitch if you wish to participate - we can teach you! However, the goal is to stitch as a group. You can bring your own crochet, knitting, sewing, or quilting projects. If you don't have any projects in progress, you can participate in this year's double "stitch-vah": making blankets (from felting and cutting old wool sweaters) to donate on a regular basis to programs that support the homeless. Also, we will have felted wool sweaters for the purpose of making chic felted bags to raise money for S.M.I.L.E. , the tzedakah project of Achot. See umjc.net/achot for more details on S.M.I.L.E.
Check the events calendar for dates and times and plan ahead for Rosh Chodesh. This day is a beautiful day for women to rejoice in the cycle of the moon and the passing of Jewish time. Come and be a part - this day is for you!
