The Four Questions for the Tu B'Shvat Seder:
- Other celebrations honor events and people, why do we have a new year to honor trees?
- Other days we eat many kinds of foods, why on this holiday do we especially eat fruits, etc. which grow in Israel?
- Other days we take trees and fruit for granted, why on this day do we think about conserving and sharing?
- In many parts of the world it is wintry and cold, so why are we focusing on planting?

We'll have the answers to these and more all with fun in a participatory program for everyone - all ages are welcome to come and learn, share, eat, drink and have fun.
The Tu B'Shevat Seder celebrates 3 different levels of fruits and 4 of wines that honor the kabalistic worlds and are used symbolically to relate to the tree cycle.

If you have any questions, please call Linda Gavatin 314-432-2499 or email her
