Tu BiShvat 2021 will begin in the evening of Wednesday, January 27

literally 'New Year of the Trees'.

Tu B'shevat has developed into an ecological holiday that reminds Jews of our connection to the earth and to our role as caretakers of the environment. Some modern practices include donating money to plant trees in Israel or planting trees locally.
