TEVETH
Tevet is the month of transforming rage into connection and growth. As winter deepens, feelings of loneliness can surface, but rage, at its holy root, fuels empowerment and motivation. It stimulates the liver (the month's body part) for physical cleansing, just as Tevet’s rains purify the earth, preparing it for renewal and rebirth.
SHEVAT
Shevat is the month of awakening and flow. Though winter trees appear lifeless, their sap begins to rise, and in Israel, flowers bloom and leaves regrow. Shevat connects us to the physical world, symbolized by the sense of taste and the throat. On Tu Bishvat, the trees’ birthday, we eat fruits to deepen this connection. This month, Moshe gave his final speech and translated the Torah into 70 languages, teaching us to connect with the world beyond.
ADAR
Adar is the final month of the year, focused on true identity and integration. By connecting to our authentic selves, we can fully embrace the year's experiences. Purim helps us achieve this through joy, wine, and masks—revealing deeper truths beneath the roles we play. “When the wine goes in, secrets come out.” Laughter, the theme of Adar, reminds us that life is full of hidden joy and not to take things too seriously. Through joy, awareness, and authenticity, we integrate the lessons of the year beyond the mind’s surface.
NISSAN
Nisan is the month of beginnings, miracles, redemption, and renewal. It marks the Israelites' exodus from Egypt and invites us each year to step out of our personal exiles toward our promised lands. Nisan is also the month of ‘speech,’ a time to be mindful of our words and the inner dialogues that can either free or imprison us.
IYAR
Iyar is the month of healing. Its name is an acronym for “I Am the Lord your healer” (Exodus 15:26). In Israel, this is when medicinal grasses and herbs begin to grow. After breaking free from our bondages in Nisan, Iyar invites us to seek what fills us with purpose and restoration. It is the month of ‘thought,’ a time to cultivate positive, healing mindsets with intention.
SIVAN
Sivan is the month of alignment, compassion, giving, revelation, and direction. It marks the Sinai revelation, when Moshe received the Torah and the ‘Ten Guiding Statements.’ Sivan is the month of ‘motion,’ a time to start walking in alignment with the paths we clarified during Iyar, moving forward with purpose and clarity.
TAMMUZ
Tamuz is the month of perseverance, determination, vision, and falling. It reminds us that while foresight is essential for success, failure is an inevitable part of growth. The Israelites stumbled with the Golden Calf, and the ten spies faltered in their mission. Tamuz calls us to refine our vision, anticipate obstacles, and build the inner strength to rise after every fall—because true resilience lies not in never falling, but in always getting back up.
AV
Av, halfway through the year, is the month to acknowledge and feel the world’s brokenness after our journeys and failures since Nissan. It is the month of ‘hearing’—listening to both the pain of the world and the subtle whispers of hope beneath it. Fittingly, tradition teaches that Av is the month in which the Mashiach is born, symbolizing hope emerging from grief.
ELUL
Elul is the month of heightened presence, of meeting reality face-to-face. As in the phrase, “the King is in the field,” and the acronym “I am to my beloved and my beloved is to me,” Elul invites us into authentic connection—unobstructed, raw, and real. Having faced the world’s and our own brokenness, we now engage in deliberate “action,” laying the foundation for the world we wish to manifest in the coming month.
TISHEREI
Tishrei is the month of conception, intimate connection, harvest, and teshuva—realignment with our higher selves. It holds Rosh Hashana, the day we begin manifesting the world we wish to live in; Yom Kippur, a time of cleansing to align with that vision; and Sukkot, a week of leaving our comfort zones to connect with others, the world, and celebrate the relationships and growth we've cultivated.
CHESHVAN
Cheshvan is the month of integration and reflection. Without holidays, it offers space to absorb the spiritual energy of Tishrei and bring it into daily life. It’s a time to internalize lessons, ground ourselves, and find meaning in the ordinary.
KISLEV
Kislev is the month of hope, trust, peace, and hidden light revealed through darkness. As the month of the longest nights, it symbolizes “sleep” and dreams—where trust allows us to rest, dream, and find hope. Hope transforms darkness into light, aligning with the winter solstice when nights begin to wane. This shift often coincides with Chanukah, celebrating the miracle born from the people’s hope, dreams, and trust—a small flame lasting eight days.
