People and Nature: A Tu Bishvat Photography Activity
A Tu Bishvat photography activity based on the work of Yoram Galili.
About
Beginning with the verse from Deuteronomy, “Are trees of the field human”, students reflect on the relationship between people and nature. Jewish texts, photographs by Yoram Galili, and discussion questions take the students on a journey of discovery which culminates in taking a photograph which reflects their relationship with nature.
Students of all backgrounds and ages will enjoy this creative activity. Celebrate Tu Bishvat by going into nature to reflect and photograph. Sharing student work is facilitated by creating a Sefaria sheet.

For centuries we have marked time by celebrating trees and our connection to the natural world this time of year. Nestled between the darkest days of winter and the blossom of springtime Tu B'Shvat offers us a chance to reconnect with the natural world when we often feel disconnected and cooped up inside. But just as trees are working hard sending nourishment to their roots in preparation for springtime growth, so too do we prepare for our reemergence into the world of activity following months of cautionary life. We invite you to use the Hazon 2021 Tu B'Shvat Haggadah as your guide in this celebration of life, nourishment, and hope.
