GREECE — Grecian Jews marked the holiday of Tu B’Shevat by bringing life back to a forest southeast of Athens that was claimed by fire more than two years ago. All told, 80 members of the Greek capital’s Jewish community planted some 200 trees in Kalyvia Thorikou, a suburban area near the city’s international airport.
