A Kabbalistic Tu B'Shevat Seder
Advertisement
Join us for a lively and musical Tu B'Shevat seder where we'll contemplate the cycles of creation through song, text, and ritual eating. We'll taste different fruits and juices, sing with Rabbi Heidi Hoover and songleader Daniel Keitel, and explore what it means to celebrate the new year for trees.
Tu B'Shevat, known as "the new year for trees," is an ancient Jewish holiday in the Hebrew calendar. Tu B'Shevat takes place on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat ("Tu" representing the 15th day in Hebrew numerology). In modern practice, many communities gather for rituals that deepen our connection to creation and the cycles of nature.
A seder is a structured ritual meal in Jewish tradition. The word "seder" means "order" in Hebrew, referring to the specific sequence of foods, blessings, and readings that make up the meal. The most well-known is the Passover seder, but seders are also used for other occasions like Tu B'Shevat. Each element carries meaning.
Kids of all ages and their grown-ups are invited. We'll have PJ Library books on Tu B'Shevat to take home.
The event is free. Donations welcome if you're able.
This event is down two flights of stairs with no elevator. We use a projector and live music as part of our Shabbat practice.
B'ShERT (Beth Shalom v’Emeth Reform Temple) is a Reform Jewish synagogue located in Flatbush in Brooklyn.
