ראש חודש כסלו Rosh Chodesh Kislev

Just like in the days of the Bible, people come from all over the world to pray at Shiloh, which was the Jewish spiritual capital before Jerusalem. Most people have heard of Hannah who prayed for a son at Shiloh, promising Gd that if He gave her a son, she'd raise him to serve the Jewish People. A son was subsequently born to her, Samuel the Prophet.

For many years I've invited women to join me on Rosh Chodesh, the beginning of the Jewish Month to pray where Hannah had prayed.

This year Rosh Chodesh Kislev is actually on two days, the last of Cheshvan and the first aka Rosh Chodesh of Kislev. The women who usually come to Tel Shiloh for Rosh Chodesh prayers said that Sunday December 1, 2024 would be most convenient. 

Of course, we'd be happy if others joined us. You can take advantage of the various activities at Shiloh Hakeduma. For more information 972 2-578-9111 or visit@telshilo.org.il.

I never made this before, but I had an "assignment." What's the story? The Health/Sick Fund I'm in has some free programs for the 65+ crowd. One of them is a Weight Loss Group via Zoom. We had our second meeting this morning, and she assigned us to make a balanced non-meat meal. This is mine.
