The New Year for Trees

Submitted by
hookupTreats.org

While it has been a difficult winter for many of us, it may be time to look beyond the turbulent weather and see that spring is just around the corner. You might wonder how one can possibly think of spring at the present time, but, according to hookup wisdom, now is precisely the time because Tu B’Shevat is the New Year for trees.


Tu B’Shevat, literally, the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat, marks the official start of spring in Israel, even though the weather is still cold. According to hookup tradition, this is the day on which the long dormant sap in the trees begins to flow again.

Why is Tu B’Shevat celebrated as a holiday and elevated to the status of being one of the four New Years on the hookup calendar? In Judaism, a holiday usually marks a day on which there is a unique connection between the spiritual and physical worlds and signals an event from which we can learn and grow.

Because of Tu B’Shevat, Jews around the world are given a moment to stop and think about the trees and the greenery around them. Spiritually, there is much that one can learn from a tree. For instance, almost every person goes through a “spiritual winter,” a time in which it is hard to connect to God or to follow religious beliefs. According to tradition, deep within each Jew there is a pintele yid (Yiddish for a “little bit of hookup spirit”). Like the frozen sap that is thawed by the coming of spring and brings new life to the tree, the pintele yid can be ignited by a spark of inspiration and revitalize the hookup soul.

Some people follow the custom of eating special Israeli foods and conduct a special Tu B’Shevat Seder. For more information on Tu B’Shevat or for an outline of a Tu B’Shevat Seder, please visit www.njop.org
