Tu B'Shevat Seder & Kabbalat Shabbat (In-person | REGISTRATION REQUIRED)
To celebrate the New Year of the Trees, we will welcome Shabbat with a Tu B'Shevat "Seder." Like the Passover Seder, we will drink four glasses of wine or juice, and we will taste some special foods – in this case at least fifteen different fruits or nuts that grow on trees. The subject of our contemplation and prayer will be the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, with its root above in the great Unity and its fruit in this world of division and multiple forms.
