Tomorrow is Tu Bishvat, a Jewish holiday also known as “New Year of the Trees”.
Tu Bishvat marks the season in which the earliest-blooming trees emerge from their winter sleep and begin a new fruit-bearing cycle.
How do you celebrate Tu Bishvat? By eating fruit! 🍎🍊🍋🍈🍓 Doesn’t it sound great? You can eat any fruit, but grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives and dates are the ones best representing the holiday spirit.
But that’s not all! Nowadays, Tu Bishvat is a Jewish Arbor Day - a day of environmental awareness where trees are planted in celebration.
So if you come across a tree today, don’t be rude, tell it “happy birthday, tree!”
