Tonight and tomorrow we celebrate Tu B'Shevat, the 15th day of the month of Shevat, the New Year for the Trees. Some musings follow:
B"ZAYON is a ecological movement, in that it believes that we must respect all of Jah's creations.
Maimonides taught that one powerful way to experience the presence of God is through nature, so may we all take this Tu B'Shevat as an opportunity to add a little God into our lives.
Of course, Tu B'Shevat is also a time to connect with our land, the Land of Israel, as it is customary to eat of the 7 species of Israel on Tu B'Shevat.
This holiday can help us to reprioritize environmentally, spiritually, and nationally.
May the new year for the trees also bring a new beginning for the Earth and the people of the Earth, and see the abolishment of the government which torments them both.
And, last but not least, may the land of Israel be instilled with new life on all planes.
