Women's Rosh Chodesh Prayers, Not a Minyan

A few days ago a neighbor, a male, asked me if my Women's Rosh Chodesh Prayers at Shiloh Hakeduma, Tel Shiloh, uses a Torah Scroll for the traditional Rosh Chodesh Torah reading.

"No," I replied. "We don't do the faux men's style doveing."

He seemed surprised or was it disappointed, especially when he asked if we were interested in doing it. Again I said no and told him that it was enough for us to sing Hallel aloud together.  A few years ago, someone (not from the area of Shiloh) said she wouldn't go, because she does not approve of women's prayer groups. So I told her that we don't do that sort of prayers. It's individual prayers with the exception of the Hallel.

We pray more like the Biblical Chana/Hannah who prayed on her own directly to Gd. But we are there as a group. It means a lot to us to be together and to pray in the holy site where the Tabernacle, the predecessor of the Holy Temple stood for almost four hundred years.

The upcoming Rosh Chodesh Kislev is this coming Friday. Join us if you can.
