I would like to take this opportunity to extend my very best wishes to our Jewish community on the occasion of Tu B’Shevat.
Since ancient times, Tu B’Shevat has served to remind us of the responsibility that human beings carry to care for the environment, affirm the importance of planting seeds, and thus affirming the importance of the intricate relationship between humanity and the environment in which we live and work.
On Tu B’Shevat, it is customary to consume fruit with which the Holy Land is praised while reciting the Shehecheyanu, a blessing recited on joyous occasions in the Jewish faith.
As millions of adherents of the Jewish faith come together on this special occasion, may we all be touched by the Jewish tradition’s teaching which likens trees to wisdom and life itself – so, too, may we bring that message to others.
As Shadow Minister for Multicultural Affairs, and on behalf of the Liberal National Coalition, let me once again wish you all the best for Tu B’Shevat.
