Tu BiShevat Pictures and More

Sunday marked the third walking field trip our students have made to the JUF Tu BiShvat Family Celebration.  We spent the morning in study at the Hellenic Academy and then made the quick trip over to the Chicagoland Jewish High School, where the fun (and education) ensued.  This small Jewish holiday seems to have grown in popularity over the last several years, and can be compared to Earth Day. Click here to read a nice article about Tu BiShvat and food sustainability in Houston, Texas.
Take a look at the pictures below to see some of the activities enjoyed by our children.
