Why not pick up a “date” or another fruit that you have not eaten since last year?
Tradition has it that tonight is the New Years for trees. We celebrate by eating and enjoying the delicious fruit that The Almighty has blessed us with. Of course the main thing is to say the blessings and thanks to Him before we eat.
If possible one should eat a “new” fruit and recite the special blessing “Shehecheyanu” which Thanks The Almighty for giving us life, and allowing us to experience this special day!

Join us Thursday, January 13, at 7:30 pm for a virtual Tu B'Shevat seder where we'll talk about Boulder's new climate initiative to create cool corridors throughout our community and explain the importance of urban forests and carbon-rich landscapes as critical to both community well-being and climate action.
The day will be observed with an afternoon program featuring Peter and Beth Ornstein. Their presentation will look at traditional Jewish, Native American, and other texts to learn what they have to say about appreciating the environment.
