TU B'SHEVAT SEDER

We love nature's candy...fruit! CNT Religious School hosted their Tu B'Shevat seder with a scrumptious array of wonderful fruits, while learning about Tu Bishvat, which is the New Year of the Trees. During the seder we were reminded of the importance of taking care of our environment. Rabbi Prass led this interactive seder, calling on our students to take turns reading from the special Tu B'Shevat Haggadah. And we loved having parents join us!
