Community Tu B'Shvat Seyder
with eco-troubadour Chris McKhool
Sunday February 8, 2009
11:00 a.m.
Winchevsky Centre, 585 Cranbrooke Avenue
The Winchevsky Centre and Toronto's Secular Jewish Community School raise awareness about environmental activism at a celebration of the Jewish holiday Tu B'Shvat, considered the Jewish Earth Day. Highlighting this interactive, family-friendly event is Toronto singer-songwriter Chris McKhool who, with his entertaining environmental songs and activities, takes his audience beyond the 3 R's of ecology (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) to a new level of understanding of our global connection to forests, air, water and animals. All will participate in the readings of the Winchevsky Centre's secular humanistic Tu B'Shvat seyder, and will sample traditional Tu B'Shvat ceremonial foods. Participants will leave this event inspired to make a difference.
Award-winning children's musician Chris McKhool has been touring across Canada with his children's concerts for ten years, reaching almost 1 million children. He has appeared on Mr. Dressup, YTV's Treehouse, TVOntario's Crawlspace and the CBC. A champion of environmental issues, Chris won a 2005 Green Toronto Award of Excellence and was a finalist for the Environment Canada Action Award for his work in schools and communities across Canada with his CD and concert "Earth, Seas & Air". Chris brings his love of violin to young audiences with his recently released new CD "FiddleFire!"
