A Word from Rabbi Jericho Vincent
Rabbi Jericho Vincent has created a thought catalog capturing some potent thoughts from Torah and Talmud, with respect to trees and their role in Jewish spiritual expansion.
The ancestors didn't always get this right. For a long time, many rabbinic authorities insisted only men counted as members of community. But we don't worship our ancestors. We call our tradition "Etz Chayim" -- a Living Tree. It evolves and changes, inspired by the past but responsive to the imperative of Spirit in the present.
Tu BiShvat
Our goal is to debut three inaugural minyan groves on (1/23) - better known as Tu BiShvat, 5787 - currently planned for Detroit, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area. To join our celebrations, support the projects, or connect with resources in your own location, don't hesitate to reach out!
