Today marks Tu Bishvat, the 15th Shevat on the Jewish calendar and the beginning of a "new year" for the trees 🌱
To mark this day, we celebrate growth, renewal and our deep connection to nature, and eat fruit such as grapes, figs, pomegranates and dates, as fruit trees were …given a special status in the Torah for their importance in sustaining life.
We wish all those celebrating a meaningful Tu Bishvat. Chag Sameach! 🌳
