Details
Join us for a unique and meaningful Tu B'shevat Seder as we explore the theme of Cultivating Abundance through the interconnected lenses of Body and Earth. Together, we’ll reflect on how abundance flows into our lives and communities, drawing inspiration from the natural world and the mystical wisdom of the Tree of Life. We welcome Ryan Madson, of Drylands Agroecology Research, to speak to us about cultivating community and earthly abundance.
Tu B'Shevat is one of the four "New Years" in the Jewish Calendar. Literally, the 15th of the Hebrew month, Shevat, celebrates the New Year of the Trees. We mark this holiday with a seder, literally "order," a festive experience where we celebrate tree fruits and share them together while enjoying their offerings.
Enjoy a nourishing, plant-based meal catered by Plant-Based Boulder, featuring winter squash from Milk and Honey Farm. This seasonal and sustainable feast will highlight the beauty and abundance of the natural world.
This four-part Seder will guide us through:
🌳 Roots: Honoring our ancestors and the unseen networks that sustain us.
🌳 Trunk: Finding balance and alignment within ourselves.
🌳 Branches: Strengthening our connections to community support.
🌳 Fruit: Sharing the gifts we cultivate with intention and purpose.
Through song, text-study, embodied practices, and meaningful conversation, we’ll celebrate the abundance already present in our lives and plant seeds for a future where we live and give from a place of abundance.
Whether you are new to Tu B'shevat or have celebrated it for years, this gathering offers a meaningful and inclusive space to connect with your body, spirit, and the Jewish value of caring for the Earth. This program is for ages 12+, anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
This program is co-sponsored by Congregation Bonai Shalom, Congregation Har Hashem, Congregation Nevei Kodesh, Colorado Jewish Climate Action, CU Hillel, Haver Rabbinic Council of Boulder,Red Wagon Farm, Repair the World Colorado, and Valley Beit Midrash.
