JMM Monthly Zine: Cheshvan 5784

October 26, 2023
by jewishmuseummd

 

This month’s zine focuses on Cheshvan, which goes from October 16th to November 13th, 2023. 

Cheshvan is also called Marcheshvan, which is usually translated as “Bitter Cheshvan” due to the lack of major holidays this month.

What does bitterness mean to you? 

What does bitterness invite?

Cheshvan can be a great time for reflecting on abundance and regeneration. 

In Cheshvan, as leaves fall from trees, later to become new soil, we are reminded of how decomposition brings about new life.

What transformations are you inviting this month?

 

 

This month’s zine was made using a folding technique that turns one piece of paper into a mini-booklet with 8 pages. 

Check out this guide on how to fold-and-cut an 8-page mini zine.
