Happy Birthday Trees: A Tu B'Shvat Party

January 2024

PJ Library is the gift that keeps on giving! Not only does PJ Library provide free books that bring Jewish ideas and inspiration into your home, but PJ Library communities also provide opportunities and activities to connect to other Jewish families in your area and to share the joy of Judaism.

On January 27 from 4 p.m.5:30 p.m., PJ Library Charlotte, part of Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte’s Center for Jewish Education, is co-sponsoring one of these activities, “Happy Birthday, Trees! A Tu B’Shvat Party”, along with the Porch of Temple Beth El.

While the leaves have fallen in Charlotte, it’s quite the opposite in Israel. Tu B’Shvat is the time of year when the almond trees begin to blossom and Israeli children plant new trees for the following seasons. For this reason, Tu B’Shvat is called the “birthday of the trees!”

Families with children ages 1-7 years old are invited to attend this free birthday bash with tree-themed party games, face painting, a puppet show, and of course birthday cupcakes. Please register online for the event. We hope to see you there for unbeleaf-able fun!
