Tu B’Shvat

2025
February 12

Tu B’Shvat is a minor holiday occurring on a full moon when we celebrate nature, specifically trees.  We exist in tandem with nature, and it is our obligation, based in Torah, that we take care of the earth.  We are its guardians.  Many people plant trees in Israel on Tu B’Shvat.  Some celebrate by eating fruits indigenous to Israel.  Some have seders celebrating the bounty of nature.
