The holiday of Tu B'Shevat is very important in reinforcing Jewish ties to Israel. One concrete way we do this is by planting. In Israel, planting trees is a major part of this holiday.
Here in the Levana class, Gabriel prepares the soil by pouring water into the hardened dirt. Eliana is using a fork to loosen the clumps of soil getting it ready for the herb seeds. We will be planting oregano, parsley, cilantro and chives. Later this week, we will be collecting coins to send to the Jewish National Fund in New York. With this money a tree will be planted in Israel for us.

What a great way for the kids to gain an understanding of the holiday. Love the pic of Eliana! So cute!
