The New Year of the Trees (Arbor Day in Israel)

In the song, you can change "Tu B'shevat" for "Arbor day"

Tu Bishvat  is Arbor Day in Israel. They also call it The New Year of the Trees. This is the date when the most of  winter rain has fallen  and the sap has come up in the trees and as a result, the fruits begin to form now.

It is usually celebrated in February or March.

They celebrate it eating fruit (figs, grapes, pomegranates, dates, olives…) and many schools take children on trips to plant trees.

The trees are very important in the Jewish religion and in the Torah (their written law) we can read: “Man is a tree of the fields”
