Rosh Chodesh

Thursday is Softa's Day with Asher. She took him to a special event in which several women in our congregation Temple Beth El participated in.

Here is the caption that goes with this photo that will be posted in the Charlotte Jewish Newspaper this coming month.

Beth El women (and baby Asher Schreibman) gather in tallitot for a solidarity worship service on the morning of December 17th to celebrate Rosh Chodesh (the new moon of) Tevet. They were part of a North American effort to offer prayers in solidarity with Nofrat Frenkel, an Israeli woman, who was arrested for wearing a tallit at the Western Wall.
