Rosh Hodesh: It's a Girl Thing! and You
We:
- Supply rich and award-winning curriculum:
- Sourcebooks for Group Leaders, up to five years of monthly plans:
- Lev: The first year of Rosh Hodesh is devoted to nurturing individual identity, as girls begin the journey to discover friendships, self-worth, positive thinking and heritage.
- Ruach: Girls are encouraged to develop their unique spirit, as they experience lessons about kindness, forgiveness, friendship, sharing and standing up for themselves.
- Kol: As the leadership stage begins, girls use their voices for positive change, while also learning to set goals, garner self-esteem—and truly be heard.
- Bena: A year devoted to leadership through fostering knowledge, mastering group dynamics, taking responsibility and gaining deeper insight.
- Koach: Girls prepare to lead their own groups, plan and execute an important final project and conduct critical self-assessments. They have gelled as a group but have also learned invaluable lessons about themselves as remarkable, empowered individuals.
