Growing Through Hardship

Tu B’Shvat is the holiday of growth
Arbor Day

There is a wonderful parable in Rabbi Yehuda
Halevi's Book of the Kuzari
that speaks of the seed, the kernel,
that is planted in the ground.
In the first stage, it looks as if the seed is rotting; the soil and the water around it
look like they are trying to make it disappear
But it slowly and gradually becomes clear
that precisely from the pressures, from the decay
the seed grows what is concealed within it
The tree, the fruit tree, the fruits,
all grow out of difficulty
We have all had a rough year
A year of stress, a year of difficulties
Economic, social, family, medical
But here comes Tu B’Shvat
We are all growing
It is becoming clear
There are those for whom it is already clear
There are those for whom it will become clear in the future
how this difficult year specifically
precisely this rot
Has gone and grown a new life
We, with the help of God
will soon see the Spring
We will all be told good news, salvation and comfort

Amen
