HaMakom Tu B'Shvat Seder


Thursday, February 13, 3:30-5:00 PM

Location: Home of Karen Milstein

3024 Governor Lindsey Rd.


Led by Hazzan Cindy Freedman and Karen Milstein

and HaMakom Community Members



The Jewish sacred calendar offers many occasions to honor the glory of creation, the earth, and all it supports. One of the most beautiful, accessible, and crucial for our times is Tu B'Shvat, (“The New Year of the Trees”), both a mystical celebration and a call to environmental awareness. 


Tu B’Shvat is celebrated with a simple Seder, a ritual meal with a prescribed order of of fruits and nuts, drink, and blessings. As we experience the symbolism of fruits and nuts, we dedicate ourselves to the preservation and care of life, together exploring personal and mystical meanings of the natural world. 

And of course, there will be music and singing!

Songs for the Earth

Jewish Servicemen and Women During WWII


Tuesday, February 11, 7PM MST on Zoom


Presenter Naomi Sandweiss Willie

It has been 80 years since the end of World War II. This presentation will share the stories of Jewish men and women who lived and served in New Mexico and overseas. From Raton to Silver City, Jewish New Mexicans answered the call to military service. They were also subject to some of the war’s horrors, including the Bataan Death March, imprisonment and even death. Learn about these individuals and how they participated as New Mexicans, Jews and Americans. 


Naomi Sandweiss Willie is author of Jewish Albuquerque 1860-1960 and many other articles regarding Jewish history and the Southwest. Naomi is co-president of the New Mexico Jewish Historical Society.  She lives in her hometown of Albuquerque where she works for the University of New Mexico.

Donate to honor the memory of departed loved ones

and support HaMakom



The observance of Yahrzeit is a sacred mark of reverence for the beloved departed; remembering them imparts a dimension of sanctity to our lives as we join together to recite Kaddish at services. Our noble tradition also invites us to kindle a memorial candle at home, and to make a memorial offering in honor of the person who is being remembered.
