Tu Bishvat(Hebrew: טו בשבט‎)is a minor Jewish holiday, occurring on the 15th day of the Hebrew month ofShevat (in 2013, Tu Bishvat started from sunset on 25 January and finished atnightfall on 26 January). It is also called \"Rosh HaShanah La\'Ilanot\"(Hebrew: ראש השנה לאילנות‎),literally \"New Year of the Trees.\" In contemporary Israel the day iscelebrated as an ecological awareness day and trees are planted incelebration. The name Tu Bishvat isderived from the Hebrew date of the holiday, which occurs on the fifteenth dayof Shevat. \"Tu\" stands for the Hebrew letters Tet and Vav, whichtogether have the numerical value of 9 and 6, adding up to 15. Tu Bishvat is arelatively recent name; the date was originally called \"Ḥamisha AsarBiShvat\" (חמשה-עשר בשבט), which also means\"Fifteenth of Shevat\".TalmudTu Bishvatappears in the Mishnah in Tractate Rosh Hashanah as one of the four new yearsin the Jewish calendar. The discussion of when the New Year occurs was a sourceof debate among the rabbis: \"And there are four new year dates: - Thefirst of Nisan - new year for kings and festivals - The first of Elul - newyear for animal tithes. Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Shimon say: the first ofTishrei. - The first of Tishrei- new year for calculation of the calendar,sabbatical years and jubilees, for planting and sowing - The first of Shevataccording to the school of Shamai; The school of Hillel say: the fifteenth ofShevat\" (Rosh Hashana:2a)The rabbis of the Talmud ruled in favor ofHillel on this issue. Thus the 15th of Shevat became the date for calculatingthe beginning of the agricultural cycle for the purpose of biblical tithes.Biblical tithesOrlah refers to a biblicalprohibition (Leviticus 19:23) on eating the fruit of trees produced during thefirst three years after they are planted.Neta Reva\'i refers to thebiblical commandment (Leviticus 19:24) to bring fourth-year fruit crops toJerusalem as a tithe.Maaser Sheni was a tithe which was eaten inJerusalem and Maaser Ani was a tithe given to the poor (Deuteronomy14:22-29) that were also calculated by whether the fruit ripened before orafter Tu Bishvat.Of the talmudic requirements for fruit trees which used TuBishvat as the cut-off date in the Hebrew calendar for calculating the age of afruit-bearing tree, Orlah remains to this day in essentially the same form ithad in talmudic times. In the Orthodox Jewish world, these practices are stillobserved today as part of Halacha, Jewish law. Fruit that ripened on a threeyear old tree before Tu Bishvat is considered orlah and is forofferden toeat, while fruit ripening on or after Tu Bishvat of the tree\'s third year ispermitted. In the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th years of the Shmita cycle Maaser Sheniis observed today by a ceremony redeeming tithing obligations with a coin; inthe 3rd and 6th years, Maaser Ani is substituted, and no coin is needed forredeeming it. Tu Bishvat is the cut-off date for determining to which year thetithes belong. Kabbalistic and Hassidic customsIn theMiddle Ages, Tu Bishvat was celebrated with a feast of fruits in keeping withthe Mishnaic description of the holiday as a \"New Year.\" In the 16thcentury, the kabbalist Rabbi Yitzchak Luria of Safed and his disciplesinstituted a Tu Bishvat seder in which the fruits and trees of the Landof Israel were given symbolic meaning. The main idea was that eating tenspecific fruits and drinking four cups of wine in a specific order whilereciting the appropriate blessings would bring human beings, and the world,closer to spiritual perfection.In Israel, the kabbalistic Tu Bishvat seder hasbeen revived, and is now celebrated by many Jews, religious and secular.Special haggadot have been written for this purpose.In the Chassidiccommunity, some Jews pickle or candy the etrog (citron) from Sukkot and eat iton Tu Bishvat. Some pray that they will be worthy of a beautiful etrog on thefollowing Sukkot.Customs in IsraelOn Tu Bishvat 1890, RabbiZe\'ev Yavetz, one of the founders of the Mizrachi movement, took his studentsto plant trees in the agricultural colony of Zichron Yaakov. This custom wasadopted in 1908 by the Jewish Teachers Union and later by the Jewish NationalFund (Keren HaKayemet L’Israel), established in 1901 to oversee land reclamationand afforestation of the Land of Israel. In the early 20th century, the JewishNational Fund devoted the day to planting eucalyptus trees to stop the plagueof malaria in the Hula Valley; today the Fundschedules major tree-planting events in large forests every Tu Bishvat Over amillion Israelis take part in the Jewish National Fund\'s Tu Bishvattree-planting activities. In keeping with the idea of Tu Bishvat marking therevival of nature, many of Israel\'s major institutions have chosen this day fortheir inauguration. The cornerstone-laying of the Hebrew University ofJerusalem took place on Tu Bishvat 1918; the Technion in Haifa, on Tu Bishvat1925; and the Knesset on Tu Bishvat 1949.Tu Bishvat is the Israeli Arbor Dayand it is often referred to by that name in international media. Ecologicalorganizations in Israel and the diaspora have adopted the holiday to furtherEnvironmental-awareness programs. On Israeli kibbutzim, Tu Bishvat iscelebrated as an agricultural holiday The Jewish National Fund (Hebrew: קרן קימת לישראל, Keren Kayemet LeYisrael)(abbreviated as JNF, and sometimes KKL) was founded in 1901 to buy and developland in Ottoman Palestine (later British Mandate for Palestine, andsubsequently Israel and the Palestinian territories) for Jewish settlement.
