Tu BiShvat: Judaism and the Environment
During Tu BiShvat, we focus our attention towards the environment and environmental issues.
Tu BiShvat Activities to Do at Home
The Jewish New Year of the Trees, or Tu BiSh’vat, lends itself to many home observations and activities. Here are some ideas for crafts, planting, quiet activities, and more.

Pressed Flowers Platter
Used pressed flowers to make a centerpiece for your Shavuot table to hold dry foods and make a pretty candy dish.
Tu BiShvat Social Action Guide
Here are some ideas for incorporating social justice themes into your Tu BiShvat celebration.
Make Recycled Paper
Celebrate the New Year of the Trees by making recycled paper using a blender or food processor.
A Shavuot Social Action Guide
It has been said that the entire Torah exists to establish justice. Thus, through the study of Torah and other Jewish texts, Shavuot offers us an opportunity to recommit ourselves to tikkun olam, the repair of the world.
Shavuot Slumber Party
It is a tradition to stay up all night and study Torah on Shavuot. In honor of this custom, have a Shavuot-themed slumber party and stay up late. These fun activities can help you pass the time productively.
