Tu Bishvat is a Jewish holiday known as the "New Year for Trees." It usually falls in late January or early February and marks the beginning of the agricultural year in Israel. This day is significant for farmers, as it determines the age of trees for tithing purposes. Celebrations often include planting trees and enjoying a variety of fruits, especially those native to Israel, such as figs, dates, and pomegranates. Many people also participate in environmental activities, reflecting the holiday's connection to nature and the importance of caring for the earth.
