Download UnitEd's Tu B'Shevat Seder proposal, designed for use in the classroom and around the family table.
This year, we have been immersed in the war in Israel and the fears of rising antisemitism in the Diaspora. But the ancient metaphors of Tu B'Shevat remind us that our personal and national lives are - like the seasons of the natural world - cyclical and ever-changing.
The texts and activities we have curated for this year’s seder will focus on fostering hope and strength - for the Jewish People, for Israel, and for the world.

A collection of resources to stimulate students by forming connections between nature, Israel, and Tu Bishvat.
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.
This lesson explores the value of Tikkun Olam in the context of a Tu B'shevat celebration.
