Tu B’Shevat Date: Sunset on February 8
Tu B’Shevat is a minor holiday in Judaism.
For Jews around the world, Tu B’Shevat is the New Year of the Trees, a starting or end point for agricultural activities involving important fruit-bearing trees. Many Jews consider this holiday to have a similar significance to the Arbor Day customs of other cultural groups. The holiday is observed every year on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat, making this a moveable holiday.
The holiday used to be known as Hamisha Asar B’Shevat until around 2000.
