What is Rosh Chodesh?
This program is an exciting program based on the Jewish tradition of women’s New Moon celebrations to build self-esteem, Jewish identity, leadership skills, and friendship networks of adolescent girls. Our program has been shaped to fit the needs of our girls at Shaaray Tefila. Girls meet a Sunday afternoons following Religious School for lunch and engaging and social programmatic session in a supportive environment.

Lori has spent many working at several different synagogues in Long Island, Queens and Manhattan working with youth from kindergarten through high school.
