Educational and Fun Resources for Tu B'Shvat


 

Hi Everyone!


Tu B'Shvat, the New Year for Trees, falls on the 15th of the

Hebrew month of Shvat, Monday - February 6 this year - 5783 / 2023.

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.
