Rosh Chodesh l’banot (ראש חודש לבנות, also known as Chag HaBanot חג הבנות [Girls’ Day]), and in Arabic as Eid al-Banat, is a holiday celebrated by some Jewish communities in the Middle East on Rosh Chodesh of the Hebrew month of Tevet, during the Jewish holiday of Chanukah. The Jewish community where the holiday was best preserved is in Tunisia, though it was also observed in Jewish communities in Libya, Algeria, Istanbul, Morocco, and Thessaloniki. The holiday carries connections to the narrative of Judith, who tricked and killed the invading general Holofernes, and to other heroic women in Jewish history.
