From Roots to Story: A Tu Bish’vat Family History Celebration

On Tu BiSh’vat, the Jewish New Year of the Trees, we traditionally celebrate planting, growth, and continuity.

Trees remind us that what we see above ground is nourished by deep, often unseen roots.

In that same spirit, our special gathering celebrates personal roots—the family trees from which our own lives have grown. During this program, participants from our From Roots to Story workshop will share the narratives they create about an ancestor of their choice. Each story represents a living branch of a family tree, shaped by time, place, culture, and historical events.

These short presentations reveal how individual lives were influenced by the larger world around them—and how memory, identity, and heritage continue to grow across generations.

Just as Tu BiSh’vat honors the planting of trees, this event honors the planting of stories—stories that preserve the past, strengthen the present, and inspire future generations.

We invite you to join us for this meaningful morning of reflection, storytelling, and shared heritage, where personal history and Jewish tradition come together.
