It’s Tu Bishvat!
Tu Bishvat is a Jewish holiday, celebrated on the 15th day of Shvat, the 5th month in the Jewish calendar. It is known as the “New Year of the Trees” – In the Jewish tradition it refers to the beginning of the agriculture cycle, and in modern culture it is a day of ecological awareness. Tu Bishvat is celebrated by planting trees, and eating dried fruits, making it a celebration of nature.
