Israel’s National Tree Planting Ceremony – Tu’Bshvat

Today is the day we joined with Israelis for the national tree planting day.  Dressed in the JNF attire, CAARI assisted in handing out the trees and showing people where to plant.   They came  – grandparents, children, parents, students – from all over to plant a tree.  The planting took place in one of the areas, Neve Shalom, that was damaged by fire in the fall of 2016.  The sun was shining and lots of smiles!  Great day!
