Though Tuesday evenings’ temperatures were way below zero, a solid group of women came together with Chavie to create Focaccia Garden Art in honor of Tu B’Shvat, the Rosh Hashana of the Trees. While weather would be a factor in other communities, Bozemanites are resilient, and we recognize that celebrating as a community is important and we don’t search for reasons to stay home. The next night it was -11 and we attended Menny’s soccer championship game (which his team won) and everyone showed up, no excuses, no “it’s too cold to go out” storytelling. It’s a mentality of resilience that is vital in a “snowflake” generation.
