    A group of U.S. Navy personnel in digital camouflage uniforms and civilian attire are gathered around a white-clothed table in what appears to be a military chapel or community room. One individual wearing a kippah (yarmulke) and a Navy officer's sweater is leading what appears to be a Jewish religious observance, likely a Rosh Hashanah or Passover Seder ceremony. Participants are holding cups, consistent with a ritual blessing or toast.

    PORTSMOUTH, Va. (Feb. 10, 2020) Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP) staff members participate in ceremonial wine drinking. The spirit of the occasion includes drinking white wine at the beginning of the Seder and red wine at the end. NMCP hosted the Jewish New Year of the Trees, or Tu B’Shvat, service on Feb. 10. Tu B’Shvat is considered a festival of nature, full of wonder, joy, and thankfulness for creation in anticipation of the renewal of the natural world. During this holiday, Jews recollect the sacred obligation to care for the world, and the responsibility to share the fruits of the earth. (U.S Navy photo by Seaman Imani N. Daniels/Released)
