Tu BiShvat is the Jewish Arbor Day, the Birthday of the Trees, and a day when we focus on how our actions impact the natural world.  It falls now, in the winter, before we prepare to plant our seeds, while the earth is frozen, in a time of year when we might otherwise forget how critical our care is for our natural resources, our shared planet.  

This year, we invite you to: celebrate Tu BiShvat with us!

• A Jewish Environmental Journey (Adults)
  Sunday, Jan. 16, at 5 p.m.

• Preschool - 4th grade: 
  Click and read about Travis the Tree, and then color your own pictures on each page. Ask moms, dads, or caregivers to send us photos of your drawings. We'll hang them around the building. Third and fourth graders, TAG POINTS!
• Check out one of the resources below, or anything else you come across.  So much is accessible right now. As we await the return of beautiful leaves, flowers and gardening, let’s remember to cherish our planet’s many blessings.
