The Jewish holiday Tu B’Shevat (named for the date of the holiday - the 15th of the Hebrew month of Shevat) is the birthday of the trees! We have so many ways to celebrate!
Tu B’shevat comes just at the very beginning of spring in Israel. Fruit trees feel the arrival of spring before people. As their roots awaken, the trees begin to drink water hidden deep in the earth, causing sap to rise up and flowers to bloom.
In Central Florida, we’re right in the middle of strawberry season. With a chill in the air, and the promise of warmer days to come, picking strawberries (and eating fruits and nuts) for Tu B’ Shevat is a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday!
