[HANASHIR:2295] Tu B'Shevat Cha Cha Clarification

[Adrian Durlester <durleste...>]

A few folks have mentioned, in regard to Karen's new Tu B'Shevat song, that
they were confused about the number of and meanings of the fruits. There
seems to be some inconsistencies from Seder to Seder-some using three
fruits, some four, some using the 7 or 15 types of Israeli fruits.

Just for the record, Karen's choice of "Walnuts, Dates, Grapes and
Bananas-four fruits for the seder at Tu B'Shevat" is based on "The Tu
B'Shevat Seder by Yosef Abramowitz and Rabbi Susan Silverman, which can be
found at

Hope you all had a glorious and joyful Tu B'Shevat. Happy New Year of the
Trees!
