Enjoying Tu B'Shevat at Brookdale Island Lake

Tu B'Shevat Shabbat programs were held at various senior living communities earlier this month to welcome the upcoming spring harvest and celebrate the new year of the trees. Friends, residents and volunteers enjoyed the fruits to symbolize the seven species. Some older adults are not familiar with the holiday of Tu B'Shevat but enjoy learning about it and tasting the sweet treats. The fifth graders of Congregation Ohev Shalom presented a skit to the residents at Brookdale Island Lake in Longwood about the holiday including beautiful songs and poems.
