Communications and public relations manager at the school, Gaby Cohen said, “Tu B’Shevat, the Jewish festival that celebrates the ‘birthday of the trees’, was celebrated with great excitement and meaning at Minnie Bersohn Nursery School.”
The ceremony was attended by Rabbi David Shaw who planted a pomegranate tree with the children.
Cohen added, “The children learnt all about the pomegranate and they were fascinated to know that the pomegranate has 613 pips which is the same number of Mitzvot, positive commandments, in the Torah. The children then got an opportunity to plant their own flowers in the school garden.”
