Seders
The Jewish mystics of the 17th century, the Kabbalists, created a special ritual modeled after the Passover seder, to celebrate God's presence in nature. As with the Passover seder, the Tu BiSh'vat seder evolved to include four cups of wine, but in varying shades of red. Various fruits are also eaten. (Learn more about the history and rituals of the TuBiSh'vat seder in the Frequently Asked Questions.) Here are some seders for you to download and enjoy with your family or community.
