The Jewish festival of the trees, our “earth day” — Tu B’Shvat, begins tonight. "An Original Environmental Tu B'Shvat Ritual" is an article we wrote that just went live at the Philadelphia Jewish Voice. The article provides simple, clear explanations and a contemporary ritual approach for the holiday appropropriate for families, schools and friends together that I was privileged to co-create  educator Kayla Niles.
    Chag sameach to you! May this day raise awareness that leads to meaningful action, increase connections within familites and communities and bring you joy. Reb Goldie
