Shabbat Shira & Tu B'Shvat

Shabbat Shira & Tu B'Shvat

In the Land of Israel-Palestine, the almond trees are blossoming. Whether or not you have ever participated in a Tu B’Shvat Seder before, please join us in celebrating this fun, tasty, multi-layered holiday. Tree foods, challah and grape juice provided with the support of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation’s Rekindle Shabbat grant. The seder itself consists of foods that grow on trees. Feel free to bring other foods to supplement. As is true of the Passover seder, there is an order to the Tu B’Shvat Seder, although it is more flexible than the Pesach order. The Tu B’Shvat seder was created by Kabbalists in 16th century Tsfat (aka Safed) in Northern Israel — the same mystics who created the Kabbalat Shabbat service.

You are also invited to bring tree-related poems and songs.

If you are able to help with set up for this seder, (preferably by coming at 9:30, before Shabbat Shira services begin), please contact ravamita@bajcvermont.org.
