Minor Holidays
Not every day on the Jewish calendar is a major festival, but the smaller ones are far from empty. Tu Bishvat marks the new year of the trees, when the sap begins to rise; Tu B'Av celebrates love and reconciliation. Both are quiet days with deep roots, and both have something to say about renewal.

Tu Bishvat
The new year of the trees, when the sap begins to rise in the orchards and the almond blossoms are the first to appear. Once simply a date for calculating tithes, Tu Bishvat has become a celebration of the land itself—its fruit, its seasons, and the promise that a people replanted will also blossom.
