This week we celebrated Tu Bishvat, the new year for trees and plants! We had a Tu Bishvat resort, featuring:
The soap studio, where we made natural soaps with pressed flowers and fruity fragrances;
The health club, where we participated in a full body meditation experience;
The tea room, where we tasted a variety of refreshing tea flavors and prepared our favorite blend to take home;
and the granola cafe, where we sampled some healthy bites and made a personalized trail mix combo to take home and enjoy. Was incredible!

This week we explored the hospitality of our great-great grandparents Avraham and Sarah, and how they were very kind to everyone they met.

We got divided into two teams: Some of us built a life-size model of Avraham and Sarah’s tent out of straws.; and the other half of us put together some yummy food, as we baked a homemade laffa for our guests—and then we practiced being like Avraham and Sarah and hosted guests in our tent! Welcome, welcome, and please make yourself at home! We are learning from their example to treat everyone with respect, love and kindness.
