Hi Everyone! Tu B'Shvat, the New Year for Trees, falls on the 15th of the Hebrew month of Shvat, January 17 this year - 5782 / 2022. 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. However, this year is a Shmita (Sabbatical) year where planting in the Land of Israel is forbidden. Many people in Israel and all over the world will participate in eating fruits at a Tu B'shvat Seder.
