Shalom Girls & Boys:
Do you have a favorite tree? I do. It's this acacia tree standing in the middle of Israel's desert.
I love flying down south so I can sit on a branch and watch the sunset. It's just me and my tree, alone, away from every busy bee. In fact, I'm watching the sun set right now and thinking about Tu B'Shvat -- which is only a few days away. I bet you'd like to see what planting a tree in Israel is like on this holiday. You don't have to look far. I found some video clips for you, like this one.
Do trees add a lot to your life? What do your friends have to say about trees? I went to Shalom Sesame and asked some boys and girls. And you know what? I also found this neat video with a song called I Wanna Be A Tree. Have a look and let's all wish the trees in Israel Happy Birthday and a Happy New Year!
