Tu B’Shevat Seder
The Festival of Trees is one of Judaism’s most aesthetic of holidays,
appealing to the senses through “the seven species” of fruits and grains
indigenous to Israel: dates, olives, pomegranates, figs, grapes, barley and
wheat. Tu B’Shevat is celebrated in Israel when budding fruit enters a
new year of life and the first bulbs of spring are beginning to bloom. So
celebrate in SaraMana too and feast on “the seven species” and more.
Performances are in Join us at noon at the Al Katz Center, 5710 Cortez Road West, Bradenton.
