Did you know trees have a birthday? Here are some fun ways to celebrate.
There is an ancient holiday (Tu B'Shvat), the birthday of trees. It's even mentioned in the Bible- along with Birthdays of Animals and the Universe. Kabbalists observe the Birthday of Trees, adding celebrations of the 4 elements, seasons, and parallel universes.
'All the trees of the forest sing for joy.' (Psalm 96:12, NIV)
'The mountains and hills will begin to sing before you, and all the trees will clap their hands.' (Isaiah 55:12)
