Shevat is the fifth month of the Jewish calendar, typically falling between January and February. It has 30 days and is part of the winter season in the Northern Hemisphere. Shevat is significant for its connection to nature, as it marks the time when trees begin to blossom, leading to the celebration of Tu BiShvat, the New Year for Trees. During Tu BiShvat, which occurs on the 15th of Shevat, people celebrate by planting trees and eating fruits, especially those from the Land of Israel. This holiday emphasizes environmental awareness and the importance of nature in Jewish tradition.
