Why do trees celebrate their New Year so much later than ours? It has to do with the rainy season in Israel, which commences with the festival of Sukkot.
It takes four months for the rains to saturate the soil, nurture the
trees and coax them into producing fruit. This is important to know if
you are planning to give your tithes of fruits, as is done in the Land
of Israel, because the required tithes vary from year to year. It’s also
important if you are a tree and looking for something to celebrate.
The wool-wrapped copper branches and felt leaves on the textured wooden
bases of our delicate saplings evoke foliage with colors in
burgundy, brown, and dark honey and grey. Bendable copper in branches and
leaves allows for graceful shaping of natural forms. Available in two
heights. Mounted on solid wood blocks.
