Inspired by nature

On Sunday evening, Jan. 24, Jews from across Rhode Island and Massachusetts gathered together on Zoom to hear words of inspiration and meaning from Rabbi Chananel Weiner on the topic of Tu b'Shevat, the new year for fruit. He shared how we can see the endless beauty of God in nature and specifically in the trees and fruit gifted to us. Rabbi Weiner told us that we can train ourselves to open our eyes to appreciate and enjoy God's beautiful world. At the end of the lecture, many people shared how they find inspiration from fruit and nature. 

Participants were able to enjoy a special Tu b'Shevat gift that included packages of each of the seven species of Israel. The 72 packages were provided by Project Shoresh and assembled and distributed by volunteers.
