Tu B’Shevat: Exploring Our Relationship with Nature

The annual holiday of Tu B’Shevat offers us the opportunity to reflect on our relationship to the earth—both local and global—through song, storytelling, food, and discussion.

Where does our food come from?

This year’s seder (ritual gathering) will focus on food, place, and the agricultural cycles in New England, Israel, and other parts of the world.

In addition to exploring the traditional symbols of the seder (including fruits, nuts, and juices), we will hear from local farmers, activists, and business people involved in producing and distributing sustainable foods.
