The almond has blossomed, And the sun is shining brightly...


Tu b'Shevat is here! On this New Year for the Trees, a renewal of the land, we celebrate, as the Torah does, praising and blessing the Land of Israel for its fruit. "A Land of wheat and barley and grapes and fig and pomegranate; a Land of oil-olives and date-honey." (Devarim 8:8)
