Psychologist and staff member
at the Institute for Cognitive

“Feeling Good*’ by Dr. David D.
Burns.
It is commonly noted that
Charlotte’s natural beauty is
exemplified by the millions of
trees which create an almost
city-wide arbor canopy. In
Israel on the 15th day of
Shevat, the New Year of Trees
has been celebrated since the
days of the great Rabbi Hillel
in 10 A.D. It is noted that the
fate of trees is decreed on Rosh
Hashanah L’llanot (New Year
for Trees), just as the fate of
man is decided on Rosh Hash
anah.
This year, the Hebrew Acad
emy celebrated Tu B’She
vat in a new and special way
with a custom that is becom
ing popular throughout the
world: the Tu B’Shevat Seder.
Staff and volunteers set up
seven stations designed to
te£ich the songs, customs and
to sample the tastes associat
ed with the holiday. Berta
Straz, Interim Director of the
Academy, explains, “Our
children had a magnificent
time doing our hands-on seder.
We thank our parents for com
ing in and helping out with
this lovely program.”
