Tu B'shevat Jewish New Year for Trees

Tu B'shevat Jewish New Year for Trees

Tu B'Shevat is the new year for the purpose of calculating the age of trees for tithing. See Lev. 19:23-25, which states that fruit from trees may not be eaten during the first three years. The fourth year's fruit is for G-d, and after that, you can eat the fruit. Each tree is considered to have aged one year as of Tu B'Shevat.

Tu B'Shevat is not mentioned in the Torah.

To celebrate The New Year for Trees, here are a few of my designs:

Tree of Life - Sterling Silver earrings

Sold Tree of Life Necklace Set (Custom Order)

In Israel, Tu B’Shevat marks the beginning of spring in Israel. Sustaining rains are at the peak of their power and the world responds, brimming with buds of fragrant life. To mark this moment, many Jews plant trees by contributing to the Jewish National Fund. (I get no compensation for using this link. It’s a wonderful way to contribute to the planet and plant trees in Israel? 

What new fruit will you eat? Figs for me, this year.

Thanks,
