On Wednesday, the Tel Aviv and Sunshine children joined together to celebrate Tu B'Shevat. We had a lovely seder lead by Sasha (tel aviv teacher). We ate three different types of fruit: apples (fruit with a pit/seed), bananas (a fruit that has a skin that we do not eat) and grapes (a fruit that we can eat whole). We also drank white grape juice to show that the trees begin to bud when Winter (white) comes to an end, and red grape juice to celebrate the arrival of spring when trees flower and bloom.
We all enjoyed the yummy snacks and have definitely learned that trees give us so many things. Not only do we get different foods from trees (fruits, nuts, etc.), they provide shade and help us breath and they give shelter to many animals and insects.
