bs"d

Hi Everyone!   Thanks so much for participating. Looking forward to greeting you personally... if not, hopefully via facebook live. 

bs"d

Location:  Ticker Residence

Date:      January 30th, 2018

Time:      7:30pm (note change in time a bit later than originally planned)

As noted in the previous email, please note that this is not a complete meal but a Tu Bishvat Seder featuring wine and fruits.  Best if you eat something before you come or if you wish bring your supper with you.  We have therefore pushed the time to 7:30pm.    Please bring grape juice or wine (white and/or red) if you can, a nutcracker if you have one. Anyone that wishes to be a designated photographer is welcome to the job. 

If you read through the AISH link carefully you will notice that the Tu Bishvat Seder is divided into 8 Sections.  Like a Passover Seder things are done in an order and food is eaten in a particular order.  

Here is the reference where all this is coming from:

Kabbalistic Tu B'shvat Seder

From Aish

http://www.aish.com/h/15sh/ho/48965616.html

Therefore please be patient before sampling any of the food until we actually get to it. 

7:30-8pm  We will organize the fruit into various categories.  To make things clear here are different categories whose name correspond with the Section in the Seder and  # cup of wine where it is eaten. Wine Drinking only begins in Section 6 for the 1st cup of white wine and continues in Section 7 for cups 2,3,and 4. Grapejuice can substitute wine.

Category 4         All Motzei, Mezonot (bread, cookies, rice, pasta)

Category 5        7 Minim 

Category 61       All Fruits with inedible shells and peels

Category 72       All Fruits with edible shells and inedible pits (2nd cup of white wine mixed with little red wine)

Category 73        All Fruits with edible shells and edible seeds (3rd cup of red wine mixed with white wine)

Category 74        Fragrance (like Etrog)
