In Jewish tradition, people have a special relationship with nature. That’s why we should guard the sanctity of the trees and the environment as part of our natural world. The Bible teaches us that the children of Israel were commanded to plant trees and other foliage as they conquered the holy land of Israel, "for the tree of the fields is man's life." (Deuteronomy 20:19) As part of Jewish tradition, on this day we eat from among seven special species of vegetation. These species are all native to the land of Israel.
