Tu B’shvat is the traditional “New Year for Trees” on the Jewish calendar.
This holiday, observed on the 15th day of the month of Shvat, is also an ideal time to focus on our connection to the land of Israel and to infuse our Zionist identity 
with a “green” consciousness.
In 5784/2024 Tu B’Shvat falls on January 25th. As Tu B’Shvat also symbolizes renewal and resilience, it has additional significance this year given the impact of the 10/7 attacks on the people and land of Israel and its agriculture.
Resource materials are provided below to help individuals, families, schools, and synagogues celebrate Tu B’shvat.
