New Year. New Vision. Emerge from your winter sleep and start a new cycle as we

celebrate Tu B'Shvat, the Jewish New Year for the Trees. Join us as we

reinterpret this

mystical ritual and raise our consciousness with an eco-friendly eco-kosher*

seder.

 

This seder will include fruits and nuts, wine, and other delectable earthly

delights. We'll

celebrate the many gifts that trees have to offer during this evening of

discussion, singing,

and of course eating. Whether you've never been to a Tu B'shvat Seder before or

go every

year, you are not going to want to miss this one--it will be 100%

beginner-friendly, will

feature fabulous seder leaders who will inspire you to take action, and our

feast of exotic

fruits will be an unforgettable treat!

 

Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly! Please note Emanu-El is handling

registration but

this is a community event planned by the partner organizations below.

 

We are attempting to make this a zero waste event. People who bring their own

reusable

cup, plate and silverware will receive a $2 refund at the door. (Compostable

dishware will

also be available).
