Tu B’Shvat, the New Year of the Trees, invites us to slow down and notice what is quietly beginning to grow.
This Sunday midday gathering is designed as an inclusive, relational practice—rooted in Jewish tradition and grounded in real life. We’ll begin with a 20-minute Tu B’Shvat seder for all ages, tasting fruits and wine into a hearty lunch. Our Seder will explore the Four Worlds as a way of paying attention: to land, to one another, to the wider world, and to spirit. No prior knowledge needed.
Parsley planting for Passover, a hands-on, family-friendly activity connecting this season to what’s ahead
A garden walk and tree stories, with a few shared reflections on trees that have shaped us—trees of childhood, of grief or return, of patience and resilience
We’ll close with song and blessings by 2:00pm, and you are welcome to continue hanging out at the gardens. If you’d like to participate in tree planting, we encourage you to head over to Adamah’s event.
