Tu B'Shevat

Tu B’shevat, also known as the New Year of the Trees or Jewish Arbor Day is a Jewish holiday originally centered around an agricultural festival that marked the beginning of spring.

Today we celebrate the holiday by planting trees in honor of our loved ones, and some also hold a Tu B’shevat Seder, similar to a Passover Seder. In Judaism, trees are a very important and sacred symbol — for example the Torah is often referred to as a Tree of Life, and in many synagogues, you will see the tree portrayed in artwork or on the bimah.

Let's usher in the spring season together. Chag Tu B'shevat sameach!
