It’s a two-fer holiday: Shabbat and Tu B’shvat! This Shabbat we had HUC-JIR services, led by our classmates, followed by a Tu B’shvat Seder.

Here is our Top 5 of the Tu B’shvat Seder:

1. Enough fruit and nuts to constitute an entire meal.

2. But we still had room for Jonah’s amazing peanut sauce noodles.

3. Experiencing the Tu B’shvat Four Cups of Wine. Turns out it does not taste good to combine white and red wine, but we do what we are told.

4. No retelling the Exodus story = less waiting for food.

5. It wasn’t really part of the seder, but our classmate Jodie Gordon’s D’var Torah was absolutely fabulous!
