About the topic:
What is the significance of Tu B’Shvat, the New Year for Trees in Jewish tradition? In modern times it has been identified as a ‘Jewish Arbor Day’, but has been expanded beyond that as a ‘Jewish Earth Day. Was that its original intent? Is there a Jewish ethics of ecology that emerges from the Torah, and does it align with our modern ecological sensitivities?
