Happy TU bShvat! Here are 3 things you should know:
1. TU bShvat is the new year or βbirthdayβ of the trees!
2. Yesterdayβs hostage situation was an undeniable act of ANTISEMITISM; the perpetrator chose to take Jews as hostages because he believed we control the world and could meet his demands.
3. It was the RABBI who freed himself and the two remaining hostages last night - this is important because the rabbi used skills he had learned in case of a situation like this, because situations like this are NOT unexpected to the Jewish community.
