Message from Rabbi Yonatan: Shabbat Shalom! Please note: Rabbi Yonatan will be on leave from secular New Years returning 3rd February. In case of an emergency please contact: President@kehilatnitzan.org.au
Message from President Shabbat Shalom friends! This week we celebrate Tu B'Shevat - the birthday of trees. There will be a Tu B'Shevat seder plate of the seven species at our kiddush this week. Rabbi Yonatan (welcome back) will explain the meaning behind each of the species. And, we will host a Tu B'Shevat Seder on Sunday at the home of Warren & Pam Gelfand. In Israel, this day is a celebration of environmental awareness. Masorti Judaism understands it as our responsibility for the earth and for the climate. Kohelet says "a time to plant", so perhaps you might celebrate Tu B'Shevat by planting a tree or a shrub. Sue Zyngier President
