Tu B'Shevat
4 Ways Kol Hadash Does Tu B’Shevat Differently
1. Interpreting Tu B’Shevat as a celebration of environmental awareness reflects our Humanistic belief that people have the responsibility to solve our shared problems. Both adult and youth participants come away with concrete ideas of how they can make a difference.
2. At our Sunday School Tu B’Shevat Fruit Seder, families bring non-perishable food for a local food pantry as part of the Jewish tradition of community service (“tikkun olam”), and we encourage our students to be adventurous in tasting new fruits.
3. At our Adult Tu B’Shevat celebrations, we enjoy sampling unusual fruits and different wines.
4. Both of our welcoming Tu B’Shevat celebrations are fun, no-obligation introductions to Humanistic Judaism which appeals to people who identify as Culturally Jewish, Just Jewish, Jew-ish, Jewish and . . . , Half-Jewish, Jews by Choice, Multicultural, Not Religious, Secular, Humanistic, Atheist, and/or Agnostic. No prior knowledge or Jewish literacy is needed; come as you are!
