Tu B'Shvat Part 2

World 2: Olam Ha'Yetzirah- The world of Formation

This is the most vulnerable world. We cause a transformation of raw materials, such as making bricks from clay. We acknowledge that G-d is the creator of not only our physical world, but also our ability to be creative, our capacity to feel, speak, and sing. It's an emotional world represented by water and Spring.

We drink white wine with a dash of red and eat fruits with soft outside and hard inner cores.

The wine symbolizes the gradual deepening of color which parallels the colors in nature as the sun brings things back to life. We eat fruits with pits because we are reminded that despite the wondrous expression of our spirit, we are still tied to the hard pit of our ego.

For this course choose five of these type of fruits: Olives, Dates, Cherries, Hackberries, Jujubes, Persimmons, Apricots, Peaches, Loquats, Plums, etc.
