We have a lunar addition to Jewish life here at UCSD. Every month on Rosh Chodesh, a few Jewish women gather in the Women’s Center to discuss important issues troubling them. I went last night, where within the cozy atmosphere of postmodernist vagina paintings and lactating tables, women lit candles representing themselves and talked about marriage, graduate school, dating, dreams and goals. While eating cake and munching on grapes, participants also recited poetry in Hebrew or English, and made arts and crafts. Next month’s project will be to make a mezzuzah. It was quite fun.
