Publisher's Synopsis
A book delineating the order for a fruit meal to aid participants in celebrating the Jewish holiday of Tu BiShvat, the Birthday of the Trees. The eating of three types of fruits, soft throughout, those with a pit, and those with a rind symbolize the four dimensions in which we experience our lives, according to 16th C mystics. (The world of spirit is beyond our understanding, and therefore has no fruit.) This "seder" or order of this fruit meal, opens us up to appreciation and thoughtfulness and a more mindful way to conduct ourselves in life.
