7 The meaning of Tu B Shvat Tu B Shvat is a special date in the calendar which has very much grown in importance in recent decades. It s quite possible, if you re older, that you may not recall hearing of it when you were young. It means the fifteenth of Shvat. The Hebrew letters spelling Tu mean the number 15, and Shvat is the name of a winter month in the Jewish calendar. Tu B Shvat always falls in January/February and signifies the very beginning of the growing season not in Britain, maybe, but in the Middle East. It s not strictly speaking a proper festival, and there are no special Tu B Shvat services or liturgical practices, but it slowly gained ground as a special date marking the New Year of the Trees. Medieval Jewish mystics of the Kabbalah tradition invented a formal meal a seder featuring various symbols of nature and plantlife (such as fruits and nuts) chosen to mark Tu B Shvat. After a long period of being more or less unknown in Judaism, the Tu B Shvat seder was given new life in the 20 th century, influenced first by the development of agriculture in the land of Israel, and more recently by the growth of the global environmentalist movement.

8 Memorial Lecture 2018 SOLOMON Vivian And He Kissed Him and They Wept. Emotion, the Unconscious and Ethics in the Writing of Torah Guest Speaker: Principal Rabbi, Rabbi Shulamit Ambalu Sunday 28 January pm 9.30 pm Refreshments will be served Voluntary donation of 5.00 Open to Members and non-members

9 Lecture Synopsis In this lecture we will explore some of the places in the Torah which feature extra and sometimes extraordinary markings. We will see how these special dots, unusual letters and creative arrangements of the text itself, have come to signal new insights, a sense of a biblical unconscious, and even the cornerstones for what it is to be an ethical Jewish community today.
