Tu B'Shvat assembly

Grandfather and granddaughter meeting each other:

D: oh grandfather!! You look so nice!! What’s the occasion?

F: it’s not Pesach – why are you asking questions?!

D: pesach?  Oh oh! The Kushiot!!

F: I look special today because today is Tu B’shvat.

D: Tu B’shvat, what’s that?                                                                                                                    

F: Tu B'Shvat, the Fifteenth of the Hebrew month of Shevat, is the "New Year for the Trees" or Rosh Hashana La-ilanot. It is also just the right time to plant trees, and this is what I’m going to do now.

D: why do we have to plant trees?

F: For a thousand years, the Jewish people lived in Israel, but for two thousand years after the distort of the  áéú äî÷ãù,Israel has lived in the people.

Our hope was to see the fulfillment of the biblical promise:

 

(Ariel entering the stage dressed as a prophet)

 

Ariel :(open the book )"And I will restore my people Israel and they shall build the waste cities and inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards and drink the wine, they shall also make gardens and eat the fruit."  (Amos 9:14)

 

F: I was just about to say that!

When the áéú äî÷ãù was stand Tu B’Shavt was the end of the year for giving   îòùøfrom fruit trees. But today we Plant trees to reaffirm our bond with the land of Israel and rejoice in its rebirth. As we celebrate this holiday, we renew our pledge to share in the rebuilding of  Medinat Yisrael and make the desert bloom.

Song number 1 "ãò ìê"

(Grandfather is standing, planting a tree and singing to himself (rap), the king is entering the stage

K: How old are you?

A: yes, how old are you anyway?

F: (smiling) how old do I look like? (Posing like a model)

A: (quietly) I think around 70

K: (look confused saying to Ariel) what are you talking about? I will say around 90? 100?

F: no, no! I am only 70 years old

K: (look at the old man as if he was crazy) I can understand you having worked in your younger days to provide food for yourself, but now you are old and will surely die soon.

A: shshs… don’t say that!

(King looking at Ariel annoyed)

A: (looking frightened) amm.., oh.., yes, you will die soon!

K: How can you expect to eat from the fruit of the tree you are planting? So why bother?

F: I must nevertheless do my duty as long as I am able to do it. Hashem has created the trees for us and it is our obligation to uphold and preserve them for the future.

A: interesting...( thinking to himself), that’s make sense..

K: ( look at Ariel) crazy old man!!

A: yes… crazy..

Song number 2 "àøõ çéèä åùòåøä"

F: (smiling). I’m so excited!! Are you ready to plant a tree today?

D: sure! What are we planting today?

F: we will plant a olive tree

D: why did you choose olive? Last time it was figs wasn’t it?

F: because olives are also important, and also one of the seven species- Shivaat Haminim that Israel is blasted with. Do you know what the seven species are?

 

D: sure! Chita/Wheat, Se’orah/Barley, Gefen/Grapes, T’einah/Fig, Rimon/Pomegranate, Zayit/Olive, Tamar/Date (Honey)

A: yes, this is him (sarcastically), unbelievable, he is still alive!!

 

K: (to the old man) oh, it’s you again!!

Wow!! (Pointing on a tree), is this the tree you planted 3 years ago?

 

F: yes, would you like to take some fruits?

 

K: sure!

K: (To Ariel) take this basket and fill it with gold!

 

A: (his hands full of things he was carrying for the king already) but, i…
