Editor's Note:
Have you hugged a tree this week? They're celebrating their new years, you know. Look, if it were up to my fourth grade teacher, I would be a tree for life. That's all she thought I was good for when she cast parts for the school production.
Anyway, the Jewish New Year for trees is this Thursday, and if you don't know how to celebrate, you might feel a little awkward walking out there into their party. Obviously, you'll want to get some fruits to the table-but which ones? I suggest you brush up a little on the topic. How about starting with some of this week's offerings?
While you're at it, join us in an all 'round celebration of just how amazing this world really is. That's the theme of a lot of our magazine this week. Trees are just the beginning.
