The festival of Tu Bishvat (the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shvat) is the "New Year of Trees" or Israel's "Arbor Day". At this time of year the first fruit bearing trees start to blossom – most markedly the almond tree, and throughout the country the white and pink blossoms can be seen shining through the forests.

With the establishment of the new Jewish state in 1948, the New Year of Trees was celebrated by the planting of new trees throughout the country, organized and sponsored by the Jewish National Fund (JNF), to reclaim the forests that had been almost completely obliterated during the many years of rule under foreign empires. This tradition continues to this day.

This year the New Year of Trees will fall on January 28th. Hopefully we will be over lockdown and able to continue this wonderful tradition of planting trees, looking after nature and of course feasting on delicious fruits.

The high holidays of the Jewish New Year and the festival of tabernacles have passed, lockdown is almost over, and autumn is here. One of the most beautiful times in Israel. The heat is no longer oppressively humid, but rather dry and light. The nights have started to cool down, but no need yet for sweaters, and anticipation for the first rain – known in Hebrew as the Yoreh –is in the air.

As the days become shorter, autumn is a time for change, for slowing down and for introspection. As a result of the lockdowns, nature has become settled, and animals roam more freely, so this is probably one of the best times to go out enjoy the magnificent sites around. Waiting for the moment we'll be able to do it with you!
