Our theme for Rosh Chodesh Iyar is Joy in Motion. Everyone is invited to contribute — perhaps you have a favourite yoga stretch, or you know an improvisation game, or you can bring a drum or a shaker. It’s fine to come without a teaching idea as well — we’ll have many ways to enjoy gentle and celebratory movement.
If you plan to teach some movement, or want to bring some music or an instrument, it would be great to hear from you this week to help with planning. If you have contact information for teachers you’d like to recommend for this session or for the coming year, I’d love to hear about them.
Rosh Chodesh Group: Celebrating Womanhood
The first of each Jewish month—the celebration of the new moon, its slender crescent barely visible in the night sky—is a day traditionally associated with women’s renewal and joy. Facilitated by Jane Enkin, Shaarey Zedek’s new Women’s Rosh Chodesh Group will meet monthly to learn, explore and celebrate together. Each month we will welcome a guest teacher, drawn from a wide range of fields. Bring your daughter, your mother, your Baba, your best friend, your favourite aunty, or come on your own to join the celebration.Refreshments served.

We’ll have Israeli dances, stretches, drumming, sacred circle dance, good music to get us simply dancing…endless possibilities. If you would like to bring a piece of music, lead a dance, or teach a few minutes of yoga, tai chi, or another kind of gentle movement, please contact Leslie Emery at the shul office.
