Nov 2, Nov 30, Jan 4, Feb 1, March 21, April 17, May 23

Join us as we celectrate our 10th year of Rosh Chodesh learning at Midway Jewish Center!  Traditionally interpreted as a women's holiday, Rosh Hodesh offers us an opportunity for renewal, celebration, and a way to sanctify time as we mark the new month on the jewish calendar.  Each month is a self-contained program. Our program is open to both men and women.  We meet for about two hours to study a small part of the Tanakh or Biblical text, under Bunie Veeder's expert guidance.

Sisterhood Members; No charge
Non-Sisterhood Members: $5 per session
Non-Temple Members: $10 per session
