On Tu B’Shevat , the Jewish New Year for Trees, a friend once asked me which of the Seven Species for which the Land of Israel is praised was my favorite. “Watermelon,” I replied. “Watermelon is not one of the Seven Species. It is not even indigenous to Israel.” “Huh. How odd.” If you laughed, welcome. If not... there is probably an internet comment section somewhere explaining why a lion is eating a watermelon. IYKYK.
