Hazon launches Tu Bi’Shvat Resource Website

by Justin [➚] · Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

Hazon has created an amazing resource for Tu Bi’Shvat where anyone can register for free and download a haggadah or customize your own, a leader’s guide and even a song book! It’s an incredible source for information and resources for running your own Tu Bi’Shvat seder or supplementing one which has become a tradition. Definitely head over and check it out because it really is something special. It’s all digital and it’s all free!

For those in NYC, you can join Hazon and Romemu for a Tu Bi’Shvat Seder and see this amazing resource in action!

Isn’t it weird to honor trees by printing out haggadot?

Do people honor cows by making leather belts?

and that is precisely why Hazon put this online as a downloadable resource rather than printing hundreds of books.

I don’t know what “people” do, but as far as Jews go, yes, from a spiritual standpoint, we honor a cow by making use of it for a proper (G-dly) purpose, and leather clothing is one such purpose.

So I actually go to the actual link above and it actually says:

“…our hggadah is available in PDF format so you may PRINT as few or as MANY copies as you need…”

Boxhead, surely Hazon advocates being reasonable and restrained when using natural resources, rather than a total cessation of their use.

@BBN- i tried to find your posts on that topic to link to, but couldn’t locate anything. the preliminary response from Hazon I got on why they chose “B’Shvat” as opposed to the more grammatically correct “Bi’Shvat” I was told that they went for “more common usage.”

That’s an odd argument for an environmental organization to be making. Should we drive cars as opposed to the more environmentally responsible biking or public transportation, because cars are in “more common usage”?
