Jessica Elkan, president of Hillel, passes a plate containing nuts, dates, avocados, oranges and kiwi during Tu B’Shevat Seder.
Celebration
continued from page 1A
tant for all people who care about
the environment,” said Jessica
Elkan, president of Hillel, a reli
gious organization for Jews in the
University community.
Ziphora Chaim, a senior envi
ronmental studies major, said the
celebration reminds her to be re
sponsible about the environment.
Participants in the ceremony
presented readings and praise on
I
the fruits that were being served.
Traditionally, people in the Tu
B’Shevat Seder were served with
three categories of fruit: fruits
with an outer, edible shell, such
as nuts; fruits that have an inedi
ble inner pit, such as dates; and
fruits that have an inner pit and a
hard outer skin, such as avocados.
In addition to different kinds of
fruits, participants were served
white and red wines.
According to the Jewish cul
ture, the white wine represents
winter and is used to recall that
nature was dormant for months
while people were awaiting the
warmth of spring and the annual
cycle of the rebirth. Red wine,
which symbolizes the coming of
spring, was then gradually added
into the white wine. The mixing
of the wines and the color change
symbolizes the gradual change of
the weather and the flowers that
bloomed in the country.
Tu B’Shevat Seder is one of the
many celebrations in Jewish cul
ture and usually participants
plant trees during the ceremony.
