Tu B'Shvat higiya...and the students at Midreshet are celebrating! After their first shiur on Monday morning, we called all the girls together and surprised them with a tiyul to the beautiful Jerusalem forests.

On Tu B'Shvat itself, Wednesday, we planted trees in a newly renovated part of the Shaarei Tzedek Hospital campus and heard from Rav Shvat about how planting trees is one of the ways in which we emulate G-d. The Torah records that He planted trees in Gan Eden, and we do the same every Tu B'Shvat.
