As we begin the climb out of winter, our Jewish holy day, The New Year of the Trees, draws us forward. Erev Tu BiShvat falls on February 9 this year, a Sunday. This holiday means more than ever in our current historical period, not only in reminding us of Nature’s fragile ecology, but also the profoundity of Creation itself. I encourage everyone to take the time out to refresh our awareness of the miracle in which we live, and be inspired to love and respect it.
Full directions for sharing your own Tu Bishvat seder are included in this book. It’s emphasis is on the Tree of Life as understood by the mystics of Sfat in the 16th C.
Profusely illustrated.
