Moonbeams: A Hadassah Rosh Hodesh Guide

A study guide for women’s Rosh Hodesh groups, Moonbeams presents classical and modern Jewish sources along with analysis and discussion questions. Arranged according to month, the topics chosen often reflect some aspect of the month, such as the Tevet discussion of Jewish self-hatred in relationship to the triumph of Judaism celebrated on Hanukkah. Many of the topics presented are of special interest to Orthodox women, such as women’s hair covering, modesty, women wearing tallit and tefillin, and women and Israeli law. With a clear and engaging presentation, this book is a wonderful resource for women’s Rosh Hodesh groups, or anyone who wants to embark upon a course of Jewish study.
