Tomorrow night, January 24, begins the celebration of Tu B’Shvat, the new year of the trees. Beyond its agricultural importance, Tu B’Shvat has spiritual and cultural significance as well. Kabbalists see the holiday as a reminder of the divine sparks found within ourselves and in nature as symbolized by the fruit, seeds, and nuts of the land of Israel. Zionists embrace the holiday as a reminder of our deep roots and the wide reach of our cultural branches: the tree as a symbol of the Jewish people’s return to their ancestral homeland of Zion.
By affiliating, participating and supporting Temple Judea, you ensure a haven for Jews to gather, to celebrate, to connect, to learn, and to pray. Together, we uphold sacred commitments: welcoming new babies into the covenant, educating our youth to become ethical adults, maintaining our traditions, fostering a loving and strong spiritual community, supporting the people of Israel, taking action to repair the world, offering solace in hardship, and celebrating simchas together.
