WOODCLIFF LAKE—Valley Chabad held a Tu B’shevat celebration on Jan. 25 for 50 women and teen girls in Woodcliff Lake. Each participant created her own delightful fruit, chocolate, and cheese board to take home and enjoy.
Tu B’shvat is the Jewish New Year for Trees, an ancient biblical holiday that today takes focus on the life-lessons and importance of trees and plant based products.
The group discussed the unique attributes of trees that can be applied to better living such as: growing toward light, providing shade and protection to those around us, ensuring strong foundational roots and bearing fruit to bring sweetness to others—“just to name a few.”
The program was offered by Valley Chabad Women’s Circle and CTeen youth group.
