About Our Event

Join us for a dynamic, community-wide virtual Tu BiShvat celebration! Nan Sterman, award-winning gardener, will lead us through an interactive, step-by-step gardening workshop (supplies list provided below) where you will learn to plant succulents from the comfort of your own home. We will also hear from Noa Zer, Director of Resource Development for the Central Arava Regional Council, to learn about how Jewish National Fund makes the land of Israel bloom. Rabbis, synagogues, and community organizations from across San Diego will be joining in on this event for Jewish learning about environmentalism and sustainability in the spirit of ringing in the New Year of the Trees.
