Oh, I wanted to tell you something yesterday and I forgot! Darn it!
Yesterday was Tu B'Shvat, which is a minor Jewish holiday that is considered the New Year for Trees. We celebrate by planting trees and eating fruit and doing good things for the environment. And as N said in a sermon last week, Tu B'Shvat is also about land laws, and figuring out which charities get your money this year. (It makes sense, but it's complicated!)
So Tu B'Shvat is the holiday of trees and doing good things for other people. I thought it sounded right up your alley.
(And if you're curious, I celebrated by eating dried pineapple and making a donation to kiva.org.)
