Tu B’Shevat, also known as Chamishah Asar B’shevat (the fifteenth day of the month of Shevat) has a long and varied background in Judaism. Today, the most commonly associated theme ascribed to Tu B’Shevat is the environment. It is considered a festival of nature, full of wonder, joy, acknowledgment and thankfulness for God’s creation as we anticipate the renewal of the natural world. Linking these ideas and tikkun olam, during this festival we consider our obligation to care for God’s world, of which we are the custodians, and our responsibility for sharing the fruits of God’s earth with all.
