Tu B'shevat Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Tu B'shevat (ט״ו בשבט
ṭū bišḇāṭ) is the
Jewish holiday equivalent of
Arbor Day— it is the new year for
trees. This day was set aside in the
Mishnah on which to bring fruit tithes. It is still celebrated in modern times. In the 1600's
Land of Israel, Rabbi Yitzchak Luria of Safed (also: Tzefat) and his disciples created a short
seder, reminiscent of the seder that Jews observe on
Pesach, that explores the holiday's
Kabbalistic themes. It is customary on this holiday to eat 14 different servings of fruits.
