Greetings! |
It's suddenly feeling like winter, but now's the time to start preparing for Tu B'Shevat, also known as Jewish Arbor Day. This holiday celebrates the the birthday of trees and the importance of nature. Tu B'Shevat (15 Shevat) celebrations are family-friendly and a wonderful way to talk about environmentalism with your children.

Celebrate Tu B'Shevat - Saturday, January 26, 2013 |
Tu B'Shevat (15 Shevat) is traditionally known as the New Year for trees. It's an opportunity to think about our relationship to the natural world. Families celebrate the holiday by planting trees, eating special fruits, and having a Tu B'Shevat Seder, a kabbalistic ritual that began in the 16th century. InterfaithFamily has an entire resource page devoted to Tu B'Shevat: booklets, articles, activites, videos and more!
Enjoy! |
