For most of us Tu Bishvat is a time to reflect on our relationship and treatment of the environment- locally, but also in Israel. Although biblical festivals have some agriculture aspects to them, Tu Bishvat gives us a very special opportunity to engage with environmental issues in Israel. For years the focus was on tree planting and water scarcity. But is there more to it than trees and water? In this Tu Bishvat seder, New Israel Fund would like to explore the concept of environmental justice in Israel through some different aspects of Israeli society and stories reflecting a few of todayís environmental challenges in Israel.
