The book
About The Planted Light.
The Planted Light explores the roots of Tu B'Shvat and mankind’s relationship with trees and the earth. Drawing on Midrash and minhag, it traces the ideas and practices that give the day its meaning.
The book then leads the reader through a Tu B'Shvat seder, with an anthology of Midrashim and rabbinic teachings about each fruit included in the ceremony. Historical background, close reading, and reflection come together in a guide to both understanding the holiday and taking part in its seder.
