Tu Bishvat, the Jewish “New Year of the Trees,” is the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat — which this year begins the evening of Sunday, February 1 and continues throughout the day on Monday, February 2.
On or around that date, we invite you to engage in a beautiful tree-based contemplative practice led by Laura Hegfield, a graduate of the IJS Educators cohort and Jewish Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training (JMMTT) program. She offers a short, guided embodied meditation based on taking a few moments to study the form of a tree, whether out in nature, or viewed through a window in your home or office.
