I SPEAK FOR THE TREES

Fans of Dr. Seuss were delighted when The Lorax became a full-length feature film last year: Someone needs to speak for the voiceless trees that clothe our planet. Today the Jewish community celebrates their annual “New Year for the Trees,” Tu Shevat, planting trees and enjoying the “seven fruits of the Torah,” particularly olives, grapes, figs, pomegranates, and dates. Join the celebration by enjoying biblical or seasonal fruits or by contributing to organizations that plant trees locally and globally.
