Learn about B’Shvat.

Note:

Today is B’Shvat, a Jewish holiday.  This year I’m going to focus on different holidays that we may or may not know about.

This was a really quick activity.  I like teaching my children about other faiths and cultures.  Because my only way to look up info is online I don’t necessarily get all the information or even accurate information.  Today we ready about B’Shvat on Wikipedia and learned that sometimes on this day they plant a tree and eat dried fruit and nuts.  I’m sure there is a lot more to it than that but it got us talking and Max remembered playing dradle with the librarian who is Jewish.  After that we helped ourselves to some almonds.
