Kos Miriam (Miriam's Cup)

Pesach (Passover) is just a few days away! One of my jobs now includes doing to work with the Rosh Hodesh: It's a Girl Thing! curriculum. The project that we did for this month was for each of us to make our own Kos Miriam. Put simply, this is a cup that is put on the table during a Seder (festive meal during which the story of the exodus from Egypt is retold and reenacted), to represent and remind participants of Miriam's role in the narrative.

The top of my glass features Miriam and other woman dancing with timbrels after crossing the Red Sea. The bottom is a quote from a Debbie Friedman song, "And the woman dancing with their timbrels followed Miriam as she sang her song...".

Chag Kasher V'Sameach!
