Tu B'Shvat
“The strength of the tree is in its roots. Without these roots, the tree cannot flourish; it cannot survive. So, too, it is for the Jewish people. We must have strong roots. And these roots bind us not only to the past, but also to one another. When together we celebrate Tu B’Shvat, we join our roots to the roots of the primordial tree, the quarry from which all souls are hewn.”
~Bialer Rebbe
Monday is Tu B’Shvat, the New Year of the Trees. Since 1901, the Jewish National Fund has been caring for the natural environment of Israel. Especially engaged in the act of planting trees, JNF has changed the landscape of Israel for the past one hundred plus years. Defined today by its water reclamation projects and countless efforts to heighten concern for Israel’s natural resources JNF continues to make an extraordinary mark on the land of Israel. Join us as we make our yearly commitment to maintain the green luster that defines the land of Israel.

Spread the love. Plant trees. |

Planting trees in Israel is a beautiful way to show you care for the Earth. Moreover, it connects us to the land of Israel and plants roots of hope and optimism in its future. Today is Tu B'Shvat, the New Year for Trees, and there is no better day to celebrate than by planting trees in Israel. |
