As winter continues, the Jewish calendar turns its eyes toward the first signs of spring with Tu B’Shevat. Known as the “New Year for Trees,” this holiday celebrates nature, sustainability, and our connection to the earth. The Boulder JCC is hosting a diverse lineup of events this February for every generation—from the youngest saplings to our community elders.
