Have you ever entered in a synagogue? Have you ever prayed with a Jewish community? Today, when every Jews celebrate the Tu B’shevat, I chose to do it!
This celebration is called also “the holiday of the trees“, indeed the Jews sitting around a table and reciting prayers they eat some fruit from the land of Israel. This ritual has two meaning: first, the connection of our life with the earth through the food, and second, the remembrance of our root like our family.
It was my first experience of this celebration and when the time ended, I thought in my origins, my family, and also the connections between us and the earth. I thought about the climate change and how is big our responsibility in these changes.
Nobody is an island and everyone has own roots.
We need to remember this words every time, because otherwise we risk to believe that who we are, it is because of us and not because what I received from many people who made my story.
Thanks to the Jews community to teach us this worthy message!
