Hi Everyone!
Tu B'Shvat, the New Year for Trees, falls on the 15th of the
Hebrew month of Shvat, February 2 this year - 5786/ 2026.
This Jewish mini-holiday is of major importance to our
appreciation of nature and our relationship to it.
It is customary to plant trees and partake of the fruits of
the land of Israel to mark the occasion.
Many people in Israel and all over the world will participate in
eating fruits at a Tu B'shvat Seder.
The Jewish Trivia Quiz: Tu B'Shvat
https://jewish-trivia.com
Which fruit is used to make wine ?
When did Kabbalists originate the Tu B'shvat Seder ?
How many glasses of wine are drunk at the Tu B'Shvat seder ?
What branch of a tree did the dove bring back after the flood ?
How many days does the Hebrew month of Shvat have ?
What is associated with both Chanukah and Tu B'Shvat ?
In Israel, what happens to trees starting on the 15th of Shvat ?
Since 1901, how many trees has the Jewish National Fund
planted in Israel ?
According to the Torah, which fruits did the spies bring to the
children of Israel in the wilderness ?
The above questions are examples from the multiple choice
quiz. There are two levels of questions, two timer settings.

Hebrew month of Shvat, January 16 this year (5774 / 2014).
This Jewish mini-holiday is of major importance to our
appreciation of Nature and our relationship to it.
I posted on my website a large selection of educational
resources about Tu B'Shvat:

Tu B'Shvat is 11 days away, so I decided to take photos of
flora in Ma'ale Adumim.
I posted the photos online at:
www.jr.co.il/ma/pic/2014/ma847.htm
I also uploaded copies to a Facebook album at:
