Tu B’Shevat Celebration with the HEA, Kabbalah Experience and Temple Sinai Tu B’Shevat is one of four “New Years” that we celebrate during the year. The first New Year, the New Year for Kings, is in spring on 1 Nissan (the first day of the first month on the Jewish calendar). During the summer there is a New Year for Animals on 1 Elul and, of course, in the fall is the most famous New Year,Rosh HaShanah on 1 Tishrei,when we add one more year to the Jewish calendar. Tu B’Shevat simply means the 15th of Shevat and is commonly known as the New Year for the Trees. As with animals, a new year for trees was important because in the Torah we have commandThe Kabbalah Tree of Life ments which are specific to the age of trees and animals. For trees, we are commanded not to harvest its fruit for its first three years, and after that we must give portions to the poor and to G-d. In order to know when we could begin harvesting the fruit, and how much of it we owed to God and the poor each year, we needed a way to know how old a tree was, so the holiday of Tu B’Shevat was established. A tree would be considered one year old on its first Tu B’Shevat and one year older each Tu B’Shevat after that. The timing of the Tu B’Shevat in winter corresponds to when the sap is believed to start flowing in the trees, awakening them from their winter slumber and starting the growth of the coming year’s harvest. In 1571, 440 years ago, in Tzfat, Israel, the center for Kabbalah at the time, Rabbi

Isaac Luria, the ARI (Ashkenazi Rabbi Isaac), began the practice of celebrating Tu B’Shevat with a seder. The seder was developed as a way of studying the Kabbalistic or mystical connection between G-d and nature.At the seder, many foods from Israel were eaten and four glasses of wine, each of a different color - white, pink, dark pink and red - were drunk. The Kabbalists associated the foods and each glass of wine with a season of the year, (winter/white, spring/pink, summer/dark pink and fall/red) and the food and drink symbolized a higher and higher Kabbalistic level of understanding our connection to G-d and creation.

January Programs Activities are grouped by sponsoring synagogue or agency

Allied Jewish Apartments Sunday, January 2 (Every 1st Sunday) From Inner Smiles to Profound Joy A fun class that will easily counteract apathy, negative moods and low spirits. There's a simple technique called the“Inner Smile,” in which we are encouraged on-the-spot to smile inside, despite the circumstances in which we find ourselves. This creates a glow we can actually feel, and that is the key to actively taking charge of feeling better. It strengthens our love for ourselves, and can lighten our moods and our joy gets stronger. The result can be more balance and a steady stream of pleasurable moods to combat worries, stress, tension and irritability. The instructor is Francine Juhasz, who holds a Ph.D. in psychology from Case Western Reserve University, and is an energy management coach, wellness writer (two published books), psychotherapist and accomplished artist.

Tuesday, January 18 China: Closing for Business?

In March, 2010, after four years of investment in the Chinese market, Google closed its site in China citing a cyber attack and challenges presented by Chinese censorship. This event may be emblematic of growing difficulties for U.S. firms in China. An emerging Chinese policy of “indigenous innovation” favors domestic enterprises at the expense of U.S. firms via a web of patent laws, product standards, and licensing requirements that many say are putting non-Chinese firms at a significant disadvantage. Join Active Minds® as we examine how China’s single-party Communist rule has impacted its path to economic development and how this emerging conflict is viewed by the international business community. This program is sponsored by Vi Living and JFS At Home.
