The center held a tree-planting event to commemorate the Jewish holiday Tu Bishvat at the Phantom Gardener nursery. The official celebration, plus known as the Jewish New Year of Trees, took place Tuesday…”It’s one of the less celebrated holidays in the Jewish calendar,” Rabbi Hanoch Hecht of the center said. “But
