Tu B'Shevat, the 15th of Shevat, is the New Year for trees. On this day, it is customary
to eat from the seven species for which the land of Israel is praised: "...a land of wheat
and barley and (grape) vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and
(date) honey." (Deuteronomy 8)
Tu B'Shevat is the day when new sap starts to rise in the tree, when new life is starting
to emerge. Even though we are still in the middle of winter and all looks bleak, cold and
lifeless, Tu B'Shevat comes - a day of new life with the promise of rejuvenation.
