All Smiles Learning About Tu B'Shvat
Students had a blast learning about Tu B’Shevat, the Jewish holiday celebrating the “birthday of the trees". Students also explored the Jewish value of Shomrei Adamah, which means caring for the environment. We learned and celebrated through a variety of peulot (activities) including:
A communal Tu B'Shvat Seder
Creating art out of recycled materials
Identifying and sketching trees around JKG
Working in teams to invent earth-saving products then competing in a Tu B'Shvat themed Shark Tank
Planting parsley and other herbs
