“…there are times in life when we are not the center, times when we need to step back and give each person ‘their plant,’ a place to be themselves, to share their voice, the space to grow… Stepping back to allow for growth is a major theme of Tu B’Shevat, the Jewish birthday of the trees. We plant trees knowing that we might not enjoy their shade or their fruits. It is a selfless act that reminds us that there is more to the world than us.”
– Tamar Zaken
