What is Tu B'shevat? The Jewish Tree Holiday

Tu Bishvat is a joyous Jewish holiday that celebrates trees and nature. It brings us back to our roots, literally. Learn how to celebrate this nature-loving holiday with naturalist and former park ranger Deborah Newbrun. What will you do to celebrate the birthday of the trees?
The name of this holiday is often spelled Tu B'Shevat or Tu B'Shvat by some - this is a fun digression we're not going to get into here, but just know that Hebrew grammar nerds love to talk about this.
Tu B'shvat is a Jewish holiday that occurs on the 15th of the Hebrew month Shevat, which is usually around January or February in the secular calendar.
