Shlain and Goldberg have spent the past few years tracing history through the rings of massive, reclaimed tree rings. As the Jewish festival of the trees Tu BiShvat approaches, they reflected on other histories trees could have witnessed, etching the historical and contemporary questions that have catalyzed the quest for knowledge into the tree rings.

Their pieces are exhibited in Getty’s PST Art & Science Collide exhibition at the Skirball Cultural Center: Ancient Wisdom for a Future Ecology: Trees, Time & Technology which has special events on Feb 2. Their art will also be featured during Frieze Art Fair.

Remembering the Trees: Artistic Celebration of Tu-Bishvat Remembering the Trees: Artistic Celebration of Tu-Bishvat Tiffany Shlain and Ken Goldberg created the Tree of Knowledge

Tiffany Shlain and Ken Goldberg watched the fires in Los Angeles with heartbreak for all the people losing their homes and possessions. They also felt a deep sadness for all the trees lost, trees with all their embedded histories, also lost forever.

As the Jewish festival of the trees Tu BiShvat approaches, they reflected on other histories trees could have witnessed, etching the historical and contemporary questions that have catalyzed the quest for knowledge into the tree rings.

I see #TuBShvat falls on the same day as Yom Rabbi Burns this year, a rare coincidence.

From Sefaria.org:

While much of the world is deep in winter, Tu Bishvat comes as a reminder of the promise of spring and hope for the future. Wherever you are in the world, we hope this new year of the trees is filled with inspired learning (and delicious fruit).

Curious to dig into the meaning of the holiday but not sure where to start? Get introduced to a variety of classic and lesser-known sources with our guided Tu Bishvat topic page.

Happy Tu Bishvat,

Hebrew by InbalJan 11, 2024

/sh-‘vat/ שְׁבָט reminds us of the deep connection between our lives and the natural world. ט”ו בִּשְׁבָט /too bee-sh-‘vat/, sometimes referred to as the “Jewish Arbor Day”, is marked by planting trees and eating fruits and grains typical of the Land of Israel.

Shvat also carries historical significance. It was in this month that Moses began his final speech to the Israelites, as recounted in the Book of Deuteronomy.

Our priorities are have been on our #interfaith / #multicultural #calendar and #GreetingCards but I wanted to have fun options for all our favorite #American #holidays like Rosh Hashanah, Rosh Chodesh, and #TuBShvat!

I jokingly asked the office manager if the treats set out in the breakroom are for a #TuBShvat party (I'm the only Jewish employee here) and was informed that it's a baby shower for one of our legal assistant's newly adopted #cat.

Tu B’Shvat in Wisconsin (today isn’t nearly so pretty but you get the idea). Last night’s moon was outstanding though. Happy Tu B’Shvat! #TuBShvat #trees #snow

@jewwhohasitall The first one, in the pot, is an etrog. It’s the last one standing after I planted four seeds some years back. The lovely fuchsia one is a saucer magnolia #tree I planted because I knew it would bloom around #TuBShvat, and it did!

Happy Tu BiShvat, everyone! Today we especially remember our #Jewish duty to care for and heal our planet. It's also a time to appreciate the joy and beauty in our natural world. Here's a dogwood tree in stunning full bloom. Loved by pollinators, gorgeous to look at, and native to the eastern US, so you don't have to feel bad about planting them!
