Telling Temple - Helping to Rebuild Community: Adopt-A-Tree Initiative for Tu BiSh’vat

Helping to Rebuild Community: Adopt-A-Tree Initiative for Tu BiSh’vat

02/06/20 • 5 min

As we approach the holiday of Tu BiSh’vat, the celebration of trees, Temple is launching a new initiative to assist families whose generations-old trees were damaged or destroyed in the recent Dallas tornado.
In partnership with the Texas Trees Foundation, Temple families are invited to foster young Texas native trees in their yards for families who have lost a tree in the tornado and would like to replant in January/February of 2021. Foster families will be matched with recipient families (who have already been contacted) in an effort to create new sacred connections in our congregation, and together, these partnerships will join in the replanting effort in early spring, 2021.
Learn more in this interview with Temple's Alex Horn, Director, Social Justice & Small Group Engagement.
