Tu B’Shvat Nourishing
The New Year of the Trees + Nourishing the Growth to Come
Featuring Naama Sadan, Chef Aliza Grayevsky Somekh, R’ Aliza Sperling, and R’ Dalia Davis
Depending on where you are in the world, the trees around you might be beginning to bud, or in full bloom, or still in the freeze of winter.
Whatever your trees may look like, the holiday of Tu B’Shvat invites us to celebrate the new year of the trees… a reminder of spring’s arrival, and an opportunity to honor the beauty of our natural world.
This Tu B’Shvat, we are grateful to be able to learn beautiful and important Torah from nature around us: Nature cycles. Always. Growth happens. Always. No matter what you see on the surface… there is always growth happening, working its way forward.
Join us — together with the wonderful Naama Sadan and Aliza Grayevsky Somekh — as we lean into these powerful lessons from nature. Nourishment for our souls, our minds, our hearts, and our bodies.
Naama will bring her particular environmental expertise together with her Yemima teaching for this season. And Aliza — a celebrated chef and educator — will share a special Tu B’Shvat recipe with us while offering her insights into this celebration of trees and fruits and growth.
We need this nourishment. Just like all of nature — nourishment is essential for all of us.
Ingredient list for Aliza’s Tu B’Shvat Salad is included below. It’s a flexible recipe, so bring whatever you have on hand. And if you want to find silan and pomegranate molasses, you can find them here.
Join us. We learn so much from you.
Come when you can, stay till you can’t. But, come. We want to be together with you.
Join us Tuesday, February 18th @ 8:00-9:00pm ET
Please invite someone you think might want to be with us, too.
