Tu Bishvat, 15 Shevat - The New Year for Trees
The 15th of Shevat (Tu Bishvat) on the Jewish calendar is the day that marks the beginning of a "New Year" for trees. This day marks the season in which the earliest-blooming trees in the Land of Israel emerge from their winter sleep and begin a new fruit-bearing cycle.
We mark the Tu Bishvat by eating fruit, especially from the kinds that are singled out by the Torah in its praise of the bounty of the Holy Land: grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives and dates. On this day we remember that "man is a tree of the field" (Deuteronomy 20:19), and reflect on the lessons we can derive from the Torah.
