			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Next week the people in Israel will be celebrating <strong>Tu Bishvat</strong>.</span></p>
<h5><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #99cc00;"><strong>What is <strong>Tu Bishvat </strong><br />
and when do we celebrate it? </strong></span></h5>
<div></div>
<div>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The name ‘Tu Bishvat’ –<strong> ט&#8221;ו בשבט  </strong>means ‘the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shvat’. (<em>The numerical value of <strong>ט&#8221;ו </strong>is 15) </em></span></p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img class="alignright" title="Learn Hebrew leaf" src="http://staticapp.icpsc.com/icp/loadimage.php/mogile/113437/e74b2e88a012ce7b67c32021bfbb446b/image/jpeg" alt="" width="240" height="340" />Tu Bishvat is the Jewish New Year of the trees, and we celebrate it at the time that most trees in Israel begin to bud. This is the time of year when the winter has just ended and spring is coming. </span></strong></p>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Tu Bishvat is the birthday of the trees and it reminds Jewish people of our close ties to the Holy Land of Israel.  </span></strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><strong>The origins of Tu Bishvat remind us that we are the descendants of an indigenous people, heirs to an ancient wisdom whose echoes can inform our choices today on subjects like how to eat in a manner that is healthy for us and sustainable for the whole planet, or how to rest in a 24/7 world.</strong></span></div>
<div></div>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img class="alignright" title="Learn Hebrew" src="http://staticapp.icpsc.com/icp/loadimage.php/mogile/113437/a27e661235544fa3fc97a060f67861a5/image/jpeg" alt="" width="237" height="320" />The Cabbalists of Safed encourage us to open ourselves to mystery, wonder, creativity and celebration; this is an oral wisdom, something learned from others, rather than from books. They tell us to eat a lot of fruits on this day and make a lot of blessings in order to rectify the reality created after Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The spreading in many parts of the Jewish world of drums, yoga and meditation is part of this phenomenon. The peaceful and the joyous in Jewish life are being rediscovered.</span></strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;">Tu Bishvat is a moment to celebrate new life and new beginnings, physical and cultural.</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><strong>Why did the trees get a New Year of their own?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The trees saw that G-d made a New Year for mankind and said: It is written in the Torah <span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>&#8220;The man is like a tree…&#8221; Therefore we also have to have a New Year of our own.&#8221;</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">They were asked &#8221;<span style="color: #99cc00;">What month?</span>&#8220;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The trees answered: <span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>&#8220;Trees need water, therefore it&#8217;s better to have it in the month of Shvat&#8221;</strong>-</span> there is also a Mitzva of planting in that month. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #800000; font-size: medium;"><strong>ULPAN-OR TU BISHVAT EVENT</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <img class="aligncenter" title="Ulpan-Or Event" src="http://staticapp.icpsc.com/icp/loadimage.php/mogile/113437/b0cb62b7ee9fa1c72ea52dffa333f8c7/image/jpeg" alt="" width="157" height="146" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">We, at Ulpan-Or will be celebrating Tu Bishvat on Tuesday, Feb 7th at 5:30 PM in our offices in Jerusalem with a local band, tasting fruits and singing together nice popular Israeli songs.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #99cc00; font-size: medium;"><strong>If you happen to be in Israel – we will be happy to have you celebrating with us!!<img class="alignright" title="Learn Hebrew in Tu-Bishvat" src="http://staticapp.icpsc.com/icp/loadimage.php/mogile/113437/e5dccec3c11eb4d275b77ea681ed77e1/image/jpeg" alt="Learn Hebrew in Tu-Bishvat" width="206" height="291" /></strong></span></p>

<p style="direction: rtl; text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">בעברית למילה <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">אמה </span>יש כמה <strong>מובנים</strong>:</span></p>

<p style="direction: rtl; text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>הפרשן</strong> רש&#8221;י <strong>משתמש</strong> במובן השני ואומר שבת פרעה </span><strong style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">הושיטה</strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> את ידה ואז קרה </span><strong style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">נס:</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: right;">&nbsp;</p>
<div style="direction: rtl; text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">רבי יצחק מוורקה שואל: הרי משה היה רחוק מבת פרעה,  והיא לא ידעה שיקרה נס.</span></div>
<div style="direction: rtl; text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">למה היא <strong>ניסתה</strong> להושיט את ידה?</span></div>
<div style="direction: rtl; text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">עונה רבי יצחק: מהמעשה של בת פרעה צריך ללמוד דבר חשוב מאוד.</span></div>
<div style="direction: rtl; text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">כשמישהו צועק לעזרה, אסור לעמוד ולחשוב אם זה יצליח או לא.</span></div>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;">In the Torah portion Shemot, the Torah tells how the daughter of Pharaoh saved Moshe.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;">And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe in the river and her maidens walked along by the river-side and she saw the ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it (2,5).</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;">The Hebrew word &#8220;AMAH&#8221; handmaid –אמה  has several meanings:</span></p>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;">Maid</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;">Arm</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;">A unit of length &#8211; cubit</span></li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;">Rashi uses the second meaning and says that the daughter of Pharaoh actually reached out her arm and then a miracle occurred: her arm became longer by several cubits and she was able to pull out Moshe from the water.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;">Rabbi Yitzhak from Worka asks: Moshe was far away from the daughter of Pharaoh and she did not know in advance that a miracle would occur. Why then, did she try to reach out for Moshe?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;">And he answers: From the deed of the daughter of Pharaoh we must learn a very important thing. When someone is crying for help, we should not stay motionless and think whether we will succeed or not.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;">One must immediately reach out immediately to help wholeheartedly and G-d then will assist him in a miraculous way – above the nature.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: right; direction: rtl;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">רק במקום אחד בני ישראל מרגישים ממש בבית בלי הרגשה של פחד וזרות – בארץ האבות, <strong>ארץ ישראל</strong>.<br />
</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;">In Torah portion VaYeshev there is a verse:</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #993366;">And Jacob dwelt in the land of his<strong> father&#8217;s sojournings</strong>, in the land of Canaan</span>.</span> (37: 1)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;"> Rabbi Shneor Zalman from Ladi says: in this verse there is a special expression <strong>&#8220;Megurey Aviv&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;father&#8217;s sojournings&#8221;.</strong> The Torah uses this expression, because the root &#8220;<strong>GAR</strong>&#8220;  of the word &#8220;Me<strong>gur</strong>ey&#8221;  has three meanings:</span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;">To dwell </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;">To have fear, to be afraid </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;">To be a stranger </span></li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;">Since the people of Israel have been in Diaspora, they have lived in the land of other peoples.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;">But these places are not safe for the people of Israel and they have fear there. They also feel as strangers there.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0000ff;"> There is only one place where people of Israel feel really at home, without having fear and without feeling as strangers – the land of their fathers – the <strong>Land of Israel</strong>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<p style="text-align: right; direction: rtl;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">3. שלם בתורתו – יעקב לא שכח את הדברים  אחרי 20 שנים שהיה בבית לבן</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right; direction: rtl;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></p>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: right; direction: rtl;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">החתם סופר אומר:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right; direction: rtl;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">&#8220;<strong>שלם</strong>&#8221; – זה <strong>ראשי תיבות</strong>: <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>ש</strong></span>ם,<span style="font-size: large;"><strong> ל</strong></span>שון, <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>מ</strong></span>לבוש</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: right; direction: rtl;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">גם כשהוא היה כל כך הרבה זמן מחוץ לבית במדינה של <strong>עובדי אלילים</strong>, יעקב לא <strong>הושפע</strong> מהסביבה ושמר כל הזמן על 3 דברים <strong>מיוחדים</strong> למשפחה שלו וכך גם בסופו של דבר לעם ישראל:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right; direction: rtl;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">1. <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">ש</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; font-size: medium;">ם &#8211; השמות המיוחדים של הילדים</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right; direction: rtl;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">2. <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">ל</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; font-size: medium;">שון –לשון הקודש העברית</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right; direction: rtl;"><span style="line-height: 19px; font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">3. <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">מ</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; font-size: medium;">לבוש – יעקב ומשפחתו התלבשו באופן צנוע ושונה ממה שהיה בסביבה של לבן.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: right; direction: rtl;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">חז&#8221;ל אמרו גם שבזכות השמירה הזאת על שלושה דברים, בני ישראל גם נגאלו ממצרים.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">In Torah portion VaYishlach the Torah tells about the meeting between Jacob and his brother Esau.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">Following that meeting there is a verse:</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #993366; font-size: large;">And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram; and encamped before the city.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;"> (33: 18)</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">The word &#8220;Shalem&#8221;, used in this verse has several meanings in Hebrew:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;"><strong>whole, entire, complete, unharmed, full, safe, unabridged</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">There are several explanations to the expression &#8221; SHALEM &#8211; in peace&#8221; in this context.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">Rashi explains:</span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">Unharmed with his body – after the fight with the angel </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">Full with money, even after giving many presents to his brother Esau</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">Unabridged with his studies, Jacob did not forget his learning after 20 years of being at Lavan&#8217;s</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">The Chatam Sofer says:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">SHaLeM – can be interpreted as an acronym</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">SH – Shem (name)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">L – Lashon (tongue, language)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">M – Malbush (clothing)</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">Even after staying in an idol worshipping environment for 20 years, Jacob still kept three special things related to his family.</span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">Name – Jacob kept special names for his children </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">Language – Jacob kept using the Holy language (Hebrew) </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">Clothing – Jacob and his family wore modest clothes, different from those in the land of Lavan</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;"> Our sages also stated that due to the fact that People of Israel kept these 3 things in Egypt, they were eventually redeemed.</span></p>
