This past Friday was Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av, and we met at Shiloh Hakeduma, Tel Shiloh for our Women's Rosh Chodesh Prayers.
We ended with special prayers wishing a רפואה שלימה REFUAH SHLEIMAH, complete and speedy recovery to those in need.
Shiloh is a traditional place of Jewish prayer. Centuries before the Holy Temple was built in Jerusalem, the Mishkan, Holy Tabernacle was located here in Shiloh for 369 years. It predated the Temple as the main location for Jewish Prayer.
Archeologists and Biblical scholars agree that today's Shiloh is the Shiloh of the Bible, the same location.
I've been living in Shiloh since 1981, and for well over a decade I've been organizing Women's Rosh Chodesh Prayers at the location where most experts believe the Mishkan had been located.
Next Rosh Chodesh is Ellul, which will be Sunday August 12, 2018, 1st of Ellul 5778. We meet at 8:30am, Gd willing.
