Just returned from #Israel. Needed some Vitamin D. Earlier this week I climbed up Mount Precipice near Nazareth, and saw this. Canadian friends, these pics of the Jezreel Valley are for you. @IsraelinToronto@JNFca@CityWindsorON#JewishWindsor 🇨🇦🇮🇱
Today we're marking #TuBiShvat, a Jewish holiday with ancient roots, celebrating trees & #nature.
Customs include:
😋Enjoying local fruits
🎶Singing holiday songs
🌳🌳🌳AND planting trees, LOTS of trees (250 million were planted in the last 100 years)!
#TuBShvat AKA "New Year of the Trees", is marked this week, and is all about celebrating #nature & planting trees 🌳🌳🌳
With Tu B'Shvat on the calendar, it’s no surprise that 🇮🇱 entered the 21st century with a net gain in trees, which are essential for our life on 🌎!
Did you know that February is Jewish Disability Awareness and Inclusion Month? Last night, we were honored to host the inaugural erev Jewish Advocacy Day networking event in partnership with @Respect_Ability, @theRAC, and @jfgw. // #whereyouhappen#jdaim#jdaim2020#jdad2020
Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 75th Anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau serve as a reminder of the horrific evils conquered by the Jewish people. May we continue fighting anti-Semitism in all its forms #WeRemember#NeverAgain
"The sources of antisemitism are many but so are the sources of goodwill. And it’s the forces of goodwill that need to mobilize to beat back hatred," declares AJC's @seffikogen in a @TimesofIsrael op-ed about AJC's #JewishandProud Day January 6.

Antisemitism & hate have no place anywhere in our world and we must continue to stand together against them. Last night’s attack on Jews celebrating Hanukkah in New York is a sad reminder of the rising numbers of such heinous acts. We must all come together to end them.
Brought to tears tonight watching 45 Holocaust survivors dance the hora and share their stories with over 300 young adults at the 15th annual Dinner of Miracles. Truly a miracle!!! #yorkcentre
The JNF staff mission is well underway! Day one of the mission kicked off with a beautiful visit to the new Hula Valley Stephen J. Harper visitors and education centre #JNFCA
13/ It will still take many years for that part of the country to fully recover, but with the help of the @JNFca@JNFUSA and other environmental organizations, Israel is on the path to recovery. A special thanks to all those countries who offered their assistance in times of need
