Honi Comes Full Circle (A Tale for Tu B'shvat)

Tu B'shvat is the Jewish birthday of the trees...so here's a little tale in honor of all those trees out there. Straight from the Talmud (the many-volume encyclopedia of Jewish law and discussions about it), G-dcast brings you...Honi the Circle Maker! Voices by our friends from Wilderness Torah and Hazon!

Now get out there and hug a tree.

It would be nice if the story actually ended that way... Honi actually dies at the end because he has no friends.

dug the bene ephraim reference color scheme {frum my own vantage point}, also reminiscent of brooklyn's jew and the carrot. orange hues and oranges in general is a sensitive topic, overall.

a filipinit journalist dating a hudyo at the time of my interview with her shared with me their desire to plant a kallamansi tree in israel, but that would require some fervent prayer in itself to make something like that come into fruition, ai?
