The Rosh Chodesh Stitch Circle is a women's group that celebrates the New Moon by meeting 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, make kiddush over the new month, have a seudah (meal), read some tekinnes (ancient women's prayers), watch a movie and stitch with purpose.  Want to learn how to stitch?  We can teach you!  You can bring your own crochet,  knitting, sewing,  or quilting projects. However, the main purpose is to come together and be echad.

Check the events calendar on www.makormiriam.org 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!
