FAMILY TU BiSHEVAT SEDER 
Saturday, January 18, 10-11:45am
The holiday of Tu Bishevat is the New Year of the trees. On Tu Bishevat, we taste foods from the land of Israel, like dates, nuts, figs, and other produce. We also remember to treat the land kindly, and we hope that even though they are hidden under the snow, the trees and plants are healthy and will bloom again in the spring. Join us for a family Tu Bishevat seder and celebrate the trees and the gifts they give us. We'll be tasting interesting fruits, learning about them, and planting parsley - which will grow in time for use at the Passover seder in the spring!
