Beth Am Women Tu Bishvat Seder
Wednesday, January 24, 2024 • 14 Sh'vat 5784
7:00 PM - 9:00 PMRooms 5/6Led by Lisa Rauchwerger
Tu Bishvat, (15th of Shvat), is the New Year of the Trees. The Kabbalists structured a Tu Bishvat seder after the Passover seder, with 4 cups of wine/juice and 4 categories of fruit corresponding to the four “worlds” through which are channeled the life-giving force of the Divine, the 4 elements, 4 seasons and the different aspects of the tree and our relationship to it. We will enjoy and experience 15 different fruits and nuts (and chocolate) with all our senses as we move through the 4 seasons and together, celebrate abundance and blessing. (View the Tu Bishvat seder haggadah.)
