The story

Tu BiShvat, the 15th of the month of Shevat, was set by the sages as the "new year" for counting the age of trees for the offering of fruits. In the Land of Israel it is the time when the almond trees begin to bloom.

Over the centuries it became a celebration of nature, and the mystics of Safed created a special Tu BiShvat seder with fruits and wine.

How it is observed

People eat fruits, especially the seven species of the Land of Israel: wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives and dates. Many families hold a Tu BiShvat seder with four cups of wine or juice, from white to red, and plant trees in Israel or in their own community.
