You, said God to Adam, are responsible for your environment. In other words, long before the EPA and long bef<Ke celerities decided to save the rain forests, Judakm was into ecology. It wais our fathers who sedd, "If a man kills a tree before its time, it is as thou^ he has taturdered a souL" It was our rabbis who wrote, "The wanton destruction of treee is a sign of barbarism." It is our Torsk that tesehee, "A tree is not sn enemy. When in wsr sgainst a city,- you must not destroy ita treee." It is our religion that developed the ctuMept of "Bal Tash-chit"-Oo NotDeatitqrl-andthe idee of "Tlkkua 01am"—fixing up the world. Yes, Judaism understanda that man is the guardian of natura That other generations will use this land. And so, the well^own tale of Honi, who aaw an old man planting a carob tree. "How long before that tree beara fruit?" adced Honi "Seventy years." implied the old man. And Honi asked. "Wfl! you be aUve in seventy years to «ijoy the ihiit?" And the man answered "When I wss bom. this work! was fiUed with csrob trees idanted by my ancestors. And likewise wiU I plant treee for my chfldren." So plant a tree tliia Tu B'Shevat. Have your chfldren plant trees, too. Plant them in your yard. In Israd. In a vacant lot in your hometown. Plant them and protect them And thaei; if ydu liaten hard enough, maybe you wiU hear aU the trees of the forest shout with joy.
