Recipe Roundup: Shivat Haminim for Shabbat Tu bShvat
By Tali Simon | January 20, 2013
How are those Tu B’Shvat preparations coming along?
What, you haven’t started…? Right, well neither has anyone else. Except, I’m guessing, the teachers out there, gearing up to sing HaShkeidiah Porachat this week. Let’s face it: Tu B’Shvat is not quite a major holiday.
But! That doesn’t mean we should let it pass us by unmarked. Tu B’Shvat falls out on Shabbos this year, and with that comes a great opportunity to incorporate the shivat haminim into the festive meals we’ll be making anyway.
Need some ideas? Thought so.
