Tu B'Shevat is known as the New Year for Trees.  According to the Kabbalists, it is the most spiritual and joyful day of the year.  They also tell us that it is a mystical and spiritual Rosh Hashanah for us, one that is celebrated more within than without.

We celebrate Tu B'Shevat with a special seder that allows to taste various fruits and connects us to the Four Worlds and the Divine Name.  You may wish to invite over friends to join in.  If you do, it is suggested that you use a speaker phone for the call.

Our seder this year will be celebrated via conference call on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 at 9:00 PM EST.
