Tu BiShvat is a festival of abundance and gratitude - a celebration of trees, of nature, and of life itself. It is a moment to give thanks for what is good: for fruit and nourishment, for the richness of the earth, and for the air we breathe every day.

This is a festival that belongs to everyone. It is not tied to nation, state, or borders, but to the ground beneath our feet and to the shared responsibility of caring for it.

This Tu BiShvat, we will gather for a small fruit seder: a fruit potluck. Each person is invited to bring a fruit they have not yet eaten this year - anything that grows on trees - dried or fresh, pickled or fermented, in a quantity meant to share. If that is not possible, please bring your favorite fruit - perhaps someone else has not yet tasted it.

Together, we will celebrate the living Migwan of fruits and flavors, scents and textures- the richness of creation and our own little fruit salat in it.
