Tu Bishvat - The Holiday of the Trees - What Does It Have To Do With Me?

what about as the holiday of the trees but if I'm not a farmer I don't have a tree growing in my backyard honestly we should have to do with me what happens to the seed when you plant it in the ground it starts decomposing and it looks like it's drowning with all the water around but then it takes root trunk comes out branches leaves and ultimately delicious fruits and sometimes we feel like tree like that seed we're decomposing we're drowning so much water so much pressure around finances social Family Medical but then we grow from those challenges so with the tree it's easy to see when the spring comes what we learned from the tree that when it all looks hopeless that's where we start growing we embrace the challenges because we understand from those challenges we grow so we're davening we're a spiritual spring and then we will see that all those challenges helped us to reach a new level ascending closer to Hashem because that's what ultimately challenges are all about to be able to reach out to see that it's all from the hands of Hashem and get closer [Music]
