Human Trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery and exists here in New Jersey. January 11 was designated to be the annual Human Trafficking Awareness Day in New Jersey, and January as Human Trafficking Prevention Month.
The year, Awareness Day is taking place directly prior to Super Bowl 2014 in the Meadowlands. As Human Trafficking is associated with large sporting events, and we have a moment when the largest event will be here in NJ, we want to do all we can to raise awareness about this concern.

Tu Bishvat – Roots For Your Soul!
Join us for a night chanting, drumming, eating, study and spiritual aliyah!
In the 17th Century kabbalists transformed the Jewish New Years for trees into a celebration of the Tree – a metaphor for the entire spiritual experience and our understanding of God. Join us for a spiritual expedition through the branches of this mystical tree of life: Assiyah – the physical universe, Yetzirah – the emotional universe, Beriyah – the intellectual universe and Atzilut – the universe of complete oneness and integration.
As part of the seder we will be eating fruits and nuts from trees and drinking grape juice or wine. If you can bring one or two of your favorite things to eat from trees and a favorite grape juice or wine. No need to bring a lot or worry if you can’t bring any – just come.
