Hay una razón bíblica y las tradiciones tienen un significado sorprendente para los seguidores de Yeshua.

This week on Cultivating Place we lean into the spirit of the season and the traditional Jewish festival Tu B’Shevat, or New Year of the Trees in conversation with Karen Flotte, with the Mitzvah Garden at the Central Reform Congregation in St. Louis, Missouri. The New Year of the Trees seems like a perfect celebration in this time of dormancy just before the sap begins rising in most living things looking towards spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Join us! Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud, iTunes, Google Podcast, and Stitcher. To read more and for many more photos please visit www.cultivatingplace.com.

Better late than never! Tu b'Shevat, the New Year for Trees, the Full Moon in Leo opposite the Sun in Aquarius, the dynamic tension between individuality and communal identity, and the healing potentialities of Venus conjunct Chiron in Aries, especially in the case of emotional overwhelm, something the Children of Israel knew a lot about as they stood at Mt. Sinai hearing the dreadfully frightening voice of G*d which was so intense they begged Moses to hear it for them and just tell them what G*d said because it was JUST TOO MUCH! This and more (but not as much as I had hoped for) in this slightly late-to-market edition of Astrolojew the Jewish Astrology Podcast for the week of 2/9-2/15/20. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lorelai-kude/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lorelai-kude/support

This week Rabbi Yitzchak is once again joined by his wife Leah. The discussion revolves around the most important Torah portion named after a Midianite Priest named Yitro. Not only that, but it is the Torah portion where we receive the Aseret HaDibrot (Ten Statements/Commandments) as well as the full 613 commandments of the Torah. What does this have to do with trees? This is also the week where we celebrated Tu B'Shevat the New Year of Trees. Learn how Yitro, Tu B'Shevat, and Trees can teach us about our relationship with the Creator.

What in the world is Tu B'Shevat?!?!? It actually is the Jewish New Year for the TREES! AND what does that have to do with us?! Trees symbolize growth, and that is exactly what we humans need to be doing. Enjoy!

I was working with a client in the beautiful and holy city of Jerusalem this week and I saw the trash being removed from the old city. I was shocked to see how hard the workers had to work to remove it and how much waste there was. Waste as in trash, but also as in seemingly good things that were still usable but being discarded. It reminded me of some articles by Lord Rabbi Jonathan Sacks and Rabbi Yosef Zvi Rimon that I had read in Ha'Mizrachi Magazine a few weeks ago in their Tu B'shevat edition. I had been wanting to share what I had read with you but wasn't sure how to tie it all in - well I figured it out and I hope it was clear. Waste is directly related to organization. Or consuming is directly related to organization. When we consume more, we waste more or produce more waste. We have a moral obligation to take care of the environment and our mitzvot exemplify this. When we consume more we not only hurt ourselves (digging yourself out of the mountain of stuff in your home) we hurt the earth. I hope this episode inspires you to be more conscientious about what you buy, what you consume, and what gets wasted.

This episode was recorded at Washington Hebrew Congregation in Washington, D.C., in partnership with the Association of Reform Jewish Educators. Thanks to our friends at ARJE for making this show happen. Our Jewish guest is food historian Michael Twitty, author of the James Beard Award-winning book The Cooking Gene, who returns to the show to tell us about his years as a Hebrew School teacher, when he was often the first black person his students interacted with, and his next book project, Kosher Soul, which focuses on his Jewish identity. He also explains what ptcha is, and why it's one of Tablet's 100 Most Jewish Foods. Our gentile of the week is Congresswoman Katie Porter, the newly-elected Representative of California’s 45th District and the first Democrat to hold the seat since it was created in 1953. She tells us about dining at Yale's kosher kitchen with our own Mark Oppenheimer back in college, how she's trying to help furloughed government workers during the shutdown, and her life as a single mother now shlepping between California and Washington, D.C. all the time. Her question for the panel is why Tu B'Shevat, the Jewish Arbor Day, falls in the dead of winter. We're heading to the West Coast!

Sterna tells us of Tu B'Shevat 2017-Friday February 10-saturday February 11The 15th of Shevat is the New Year for Trees, known as Tu b'Shevat.According to Biblical law, there is a seven year agricultural cycle, concluding with the Sabbatical year. When the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, on years one, two, four and five of this cycle, farmers were required to separate a tenth of their produce and eat it in Jerusalem. This tithe is called Maaser Sheni, the Second Tithe, because it is in addition to the (two percent which must be given to the Kohain, and the) ten percent which is given to the Levite. On the third and sixth years of the cycle, instead of the owners eating the Maaser Sheni in Jerusalem, they gave this second tithe to the poor, who were permitted to consume it wherever they wished.It takes approximately four months for the rains of the new year to saturate the soil and trees, and produce fruit[On the Sabbatical year, no tithes are separated. All produce which grows during this year is ownerless and free for anyone to take.]It was therefore of vital importance to ascertain when the new year started for produce. Our Rabbis established that a fruit which blossomed before the 15th of Shevat is produce of the previous year. If it blossomed afterwards, it is produce of the "new year." [By comparison, grains, vegetables, and legumes have the same New Year as humans, the 1st of Tishrei.] Why is this so? In the Mediterranean region, the rainy season begins with the festival of Sukkot. It takes approximately four months (from Sukkot, the 15th of Tishrei, until the 15th of Shevat) for the rains of the new year to saturate the soil and trees, and produce fruit. All fruit which blossom beforehand are a product of the rains of the previous year, and are tithed together with the crops of the previous year.Although this day is Rosh Hashanah for trees, we attach special significance to this holiday because "Man is [compared to] the tree of the field" (Deuteronomy 20:19). Through cultivating strong roots – faith and commitment to G‑d – we produce many fruits—Torah and Mitzvot.Observances and CustomsOn this day it is customary to partake of the fruit with which the Holy Land is praised (Deuteronomy 8:8): olives, dates, grapes, figs and pomegranates. If tasting any of these fruit for the first time this season, remember to recite the Shehecheyanu blessing. (A blessing recited on joyous occasions, thanking G‑d for "sustaining us and enabling us to reach this occasion." This blessing is recited before the standard "Ha'etz" blessing recited on fruit.)

What is Tu B'Shevat?  And, how does it help us understand why God judges us? "BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather. But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night. [Rom. 13:8-10; Gal. 3:1-29; II Tim. 3:16.] And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity]. [Jer. 17:7, 8.] Not so the wicked [those disobedient and living without God are not so]. But they are like the chaff [worthless, dead, without substance] which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked [those disobedient and living without God] shall not stand [justified] in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous [those who are upright and in right standing with God]. For the Lord knows and is fully acquainted with the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly [those living outside God's will] shall perish (end in ruin and come to nought). (Psalm 1:1-6 AMP) Psalm 92:12-15Luke 3:7-14 "Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And I said, I see a branch or shoot of an almond tree [the emblem of alertness and activity, blossoming in late winter]." Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it. (Jeremiah 1:11-12 AMP)
