Jewish tradition likens people to trees. Kabbalah likens God to a tree. If people are trees, and God is a tree... 🤔 Come celebrate Tu Bishvat by exploring the intersection between nature, human, and Divine. We will look at selections from the Hebrew Bible, the Talmud, and classical Kabbalah. No previous experience is needed; texts will be explored in English translation alongside the original Hebrew/Aramaic.
