A single tree stood bare in the hallways of Ulpana… but not for long, as Tu B’Shvat celebrations began with each student contributing to the nature-themed mural (designed and painted by Lauren Bergman and Shalhevet Gobrin). The day continued with the planting of a garden to be housed in our library and an exciting Brachot Bee. All four grades were pitted against each other in a battle of Brachot. Congratulations to Grade 12, specifically Tamar Lyons and Talia Schwartz, for winning the event. Dried fruit platters were enjoyed by all as we reveled in the beautiful gift that nature provides.
