Today is the Jewish New Year of the Trees.
Tu BiShvat (ט״ו בִּשְׁבָט) is a Jewish holiday occurring on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat. This year, in 2024, Tu BiShvat begins at sunset on January 24 and ends in the evening of January 25. It is also called Rosh HaShanah La’Ilanot (ראש השנה לאילנות), literally “New Year of the Trees”. In contemporary Israel, the day is celebrated as an ecological awareness day, and trees are planted in celebration.
