Tu B’Shevat is one of four “NewYears” that we celebrate duringthe year. The first New Year, theNew Year for Kings, is in springon 1 Nissan (the first day of thefirst month on the Jewish calen-dar). During the summer thereis a New Year for Animals on 1Elul and, of course, in the fall isthemost famousNewYear,RoshHaShanah on 1Tishrei,whenweadd one more year to the Jewishcalendar. Tu B’Shevat simplymeans the 15th of Shevat and iscommonly known as the NewYear for the Trees.

As with animals, a new year fortrees was important because inthe Torah we have command-ments which are specific to theage of trees and animals. For

trees,we are commanded not to harvest its fruit for its first three years,and after that wemust give portions to the poor and to G-d. In order toknowwhen we could begin harvesting the fruit, and howmuch of it weowed to God and the poor each year,we needed a way to know how olda tree was, so the holiday of Tu B’Shevat was established.A tree wouldbe considered one year old on its first Tu B’Shevat and one year oldereach Tu B’Shevat after that.

The timing of the Tu B’Shevat in winter corresponds to when the sap isbelieved to start flowing in the trees, awakening them from their winterslumber and starting the growth of the coming year’s harvest. In 1571,440 years ago, in Tzfat, Israel, the center for Kabbalah at the time,Rabbi

Isaac Luria, the ARI (Ashkenazi Rabbi Isaac), began the practice of cel-ebrating Tu B’Shevat with a seder. The seder was developed as a way ofstudying the Kabbalistic or mystical connection between G-d andnature.At the seder,many foods from Israel were eaten and four glassesof wine, each of a different color - white, pink, dark pink and red - weredrunk.The Kabbalists associated the foods and each glass of wine witha season of the year, (winter/white, spring/pink, summer/dark pink andfall/red) and the food and drink symbolized a higher and higherKabbalistic level of understanding our connection to G-d and creation.
