You are part of a growing community of women joining together monthly on Rosh Chodesh for inspiration and connection. Just as an astronaut transitions carefully when entering the earth's atmosphere, so too, spiritual recalibration can be challenging. We need to be careful not to get the "spiritual bends". Entering Chodesh Iyar transitions us from the intensity of Pesach back to normal life. With two days of Rosh Chodesh Iyar, we have a chance to recite Hallel and daven Musaf as we ease back into regular day-to-day life. I look forward to meeting you virtually and being inspired together. Please join us this Monday at 12 noon EDT to hear Mrs. Esther Tokayer.
Esther Tokayer is the rebbetzin of the Kingsway Jewish Center and the associate principal of Magen David Yeshivah Joe and Celia Esses High School, where she began her career education teaching Tanakh, History and Halakhah 28 years ago. Mrs. Tokayer studied at Michlalah Jerusalem College for Women after high school and then attended Brooklyn College for undergraduate school and New York University for graduate school. She has pursued her studies further in the B'nei Shaare Zion Torah Center and Nishmat. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband, Rabbi Etan Tokayer, and their three children.
Chodesh Tov. Stay safe and well! 
Rebbetzin Dr. Adina Shmidman
