Tu b'Shevat shivat haminim paper box
Tu B'Shevat, also known as Tu B'Shevet or Tu Bishvat, is the day that trees come of age according to Jewish law. Jewish people mark this day by eating a symbolic meal of fruit and nuts or planting trees.
According to some readings of Jewish law, fruit that ripens in the first three years that a tree gives fruit is considered orlah. This means that it is not kosher and thus not acceptable for Jewish people to eat. Tu B'Shevat marks the "new year" or "birthday" of trees. Fruit that ripens in the third year on or after the 15th day of the month of Shevat is kosher. Traditionally, the fruit that ripened in the fourth year was taken to the temple as a tithe (form of taxation). This is now paid symbolically using coins.
Some Jewish people began to hold a symbolic sedar on Tu B'Shevat after 1600 CE. This consisted of different types of fruit and nuts, each of which had a specific spiritual meaning.
Symbols
Important symbols of Tu B'Shevat include different types of dried fruit arranged on a platter, flowering almond trees and the "seven species". These are:
Barley.
Dates.
Figs.
Grapes.
Olives.
Pomegranates.
Wheat.
The seven species are associated with the Land of Israel in the Torah so they have an important place in Jewish culture.

Tashlich box
Tashlich comes from the Hebrew word meaning "to cast," referring to the intent to cast away our sins via this meaningful and ancient Jewish custom.
Tashlich is usually performed on the first day of Rosh Hashanah. If the first day of Rosh Hashanah falls on Shabbat, Tashlich is done on the second day of Rosh Hashanah. It may be performed up until Hoshanah Rabba (the last day of Sukkot), as some communities are anyway accustomed, except on Shabbat.
We commemorate the self-sacrifice of Abraham by going to a river bank.
Special verses are recited next to a body of water, such as a sea, river, stream, lake or pond, preferably one that has fish
Though Tashlich is not mentioned in the Talmud, its earliest reference appears to be in the book of the Prophet Nehemiah (8:1) which states, "All the Jews gathered as one in the street that is in front of the gate of water." This gathering is known to have taken place on Rosh Hashanah.

Parashah Massei
In this week's reading, Massei, Moshè reviews the forty years of Israelite journeys through the desert. The Torah discusses the boundaries of Israel.
The Torah recounts the journeys of the Jews in the desert. In the first aliyah the Torah lists the first seven of the 42 journeys which took them from Egypt to the banks of the Jordan.
....so we worked on maps, boundaries and geographical locations
Just cut pieces of geographic maps from an old atlas with which to cover a cardboard box, a shoe box ... and inside put the maps your children will draw during summer of the place and journey they loved the most.
