Happy Tu Bishvat!

by Shoshana Flax
Feb 12, 2025 | Filed in Blogs

Tomorrow is Tu Bishvat, the Jewish holiday (of many spellings) considered the New Year of the Trees. Looking for tree-related inspiration? See the Trees tag, or the more specific Holidays --Tu B’Shvat tag, in the Guide/Reviews Database. Or see the Trees tag on hbook.com, especially this verdant veritable forest from a few years back. Happy Tu Bishvat, and may all your searches be fruitful!
