A boy came home from Sunday school and his father asked what he’d learned. Then, they all crossed, and when the Egyptians came, they blew up the bridge, killing everyone.” His father looked down at the boy over his glasses and said, “I don’t think that’s what the teacher told you.” The boy replied, “No, but you’d never believe what she DID tell us!”    Another student was reading the bible in college, and exclaimed, “G-d is so amazing!” The teacher asked, “Why do you say that?” He said, “I’m reading the bible and He split the sea and enabled the Jews to cross it! “Any fool can count the seeds in an apple, but only a wise man can count the many apples in a single seed.” The lesson of Tu B’Shvat is to celebrate the good that may someday come from each person, each moment, and each challenge or joy in our lives.

When we look for something special in this Shabbos, we can find multiple things, and so can we find countless lessons and kindnesses from Hashem in every part of the world around us. [The Israelites] came to Marah, but they could not drink waters from Marah because they were bitter… (Exodus 15:23) The Baal Shem Tov explained the word ‘they’ to refer to the Jews.
