UUJA Shabbat: A Tu BiShevat Seder
Rev. Marti Keller and Rev. Leah Ongiri
During the Temple period (before 70 CE), Tu BiShevat was likely a tax collection day for fruit. Today it is a celebration of trees and nature, and a pledge of loving protection and right relationship with the earth. Seder, the Hebrew word for order, is often associated with Passover. Yet the tradition of conducting a Tu BiShevat Seder comes from Middle Eastern Jewish mystical traditions in the 16th century. Join us for a modern adaptation that includes music, ritual, and the opportunity to reflect on memory, hope, diversity, and strength. Children welcome! And any who wish to honor this ancient spring fertility festival are warmly invited. If you’d like to participate, have at the ready red and white wine or juice, some of your favorite fruits, challah (bread), and two candles.
. Registration is required, for security reasons.
