Why Join
by Elissa Blaser
There are many reasons to join the RCWC and many benefits follow. However, there is one main reason: Join with us so you may understand how precious you are, how valuable you are and how important your life is. “A price above rubies…”- one cannot set a price high enough to explain the gifts a Jewish woman brings to those around her. Why is this so. Each month, on Rosh Chodesh, the day designated to remind us of monthly cycles and fieminine energy, you will learn more and more of the special, almost preferential relationship women have with G-d, about their gifted nature and about the tremendous powers they possess.
A woman builds the world around her
Together we will learn how
