Tu B'Shvat: Surviving or Thriving?

The Torah compares man to a tree. Today on Tumisha, the new year for trees, we [music] have to ask ourselves, are we actually growing? A tree only stays alive as long as it's connected to its [music] roots. For us, that source is the Torah. Without that constant connection, we start to wither. But there's a difference between surviving and thriving. [music] Think about the difference between bread and fruit. Bread is a necessity to live, but fruit is for [music] pleasure. Our Jewish life shouldn't be a cold mechanical habit. It needs the fruit, the warmth, [music] soul, and joy found in the deeper mystical side of our tradition that makes the wisdom come alive. This year, [music] don't just go through the motions. Join Jet and find the partner who will help you truly bloom.
