Kri'at Nashim ~ קריאת נשים
The women at Darchei Noam gather throughout the year to read Torah together in a special women's Torah service. This gathering includes women readers from post-Bat Mitzvah girls and up, and offers an opportunity to honor the Torah in a warm and inclusive environment. Kri'at Nashim takes place six times a year: once during each book of the Torah and on Simchat Torah. In addition, the women of Darchei Noam gather for readings of Megillat Esther, Shir HaShirim, Rut and Kohelet.
We will have a women’s reading of Kohelet on Shabbat morning Shmini Atzeret, concurrent with the reading in the main sanctuary; and a women’s Torah reading on Simchat Torah morning, also concurrent with the reading in the main sanctuary. All women and girls are welcome.
Sunday, October 4
