Today is Tu B'Shvat - the 15th day of the Jewish month of Shevat.
This day marks the beginning of the year for all trees, as mentioned in the Mishna.
Here's some great lessons that our friends at Hunter Chabad shared that we can learn from a tree.
There are so many beautiful messages that we learn from Tu B’Shvat - the new year for Trees and today was a wonderful reminder of so many:
- Strong roots foster strong growth
- The right nutrients are vital for life
- A tree will flourish best when planted amongst others.. but not too close or it’ll be stifled
- In the winter, it seems gloomy and dark, but deep beneath the soil, the seed is germinating, life is beginning... A process that will only be evident months later when it sprouts in spring. How often do we feel slumped in worry or fear, and yet forget that this is our winter- great things are germinating that will explode forth with life and beauty in spring!
