Tu B'Shevat

This week is Tu B’Shevat – the birthday of the trees.

There is never a wrong time to get involved in environmental causes, but it is always the right time to be reminded why it matters. Although the trees are not in bloom, much is happening inside of them and we wait for them to bloom, I invite us all to bring a plant into our homes to nurture and care for and if our home is filled with plants, give one to a friend or neighbor. Caring for other forms of life refreshes our own humanity.
