The men of CTI are invited to take part in a Tu B’Shevat Tree Tour, to occur simultaneously with the Women’s Seder that will take place at our shul. Both events will be held on Sunday, Feb. 9, at 2 p.m. The women will gather in the community room. The men will gather at the gazebo in Andrew Levin Park, adjacent to the shul.

The tree tour will be led by shul member Jack Weiskott, an expert botanist and a member of the Greenport Tree Committee. He will discuss the benefits of trees and how the Tree Committee chooses which trees to plant, how they are acquired, and what care and maintenance they receive.

Rabbi Gadi will make the connection to Tu B’Shevat, a time when under all the cold and snow the sap begins to resurrect. Please dress for the weather, and you might want to bring a hot drink in a Thermos.
