As the moon becomes full in the Hebrew month of Shevat, illuminating the winter landscape, we celebrate one of our four Jewish New Years: Tu B'Shevat, the New Year dedicated to honoring the trees and the abundant gifts they offer with such generosity. Jewish mystics created a Tu B’Shevat seder, a ritual with food, drink, song and meditation, to honor the lift force rising within trees and all life. For them, the Tu B’Shevat seder was a time to acknowledge the intricate mysterious patterns of creation and to travel in and between the 4 mystical worlds: assiyah, the physical world, yetzira, the world of feelings, emotions, bri’ah, the world of intuition, insight, vision and azilut, the world of pure Divine Presence. They traveled in these realms focusing on the fruits and gifts of the trees for the sake of healing and mending the world.
