Tu B'Shvat

This holiday celebrates the new year for trees, and it is a time to appreciate our beautiful world.

On Tu B'Shvat, it is customary to eat a new fruit and to say the following blessing:

Baruch Atah Ado-noi, Elohai-nu Melech HaOlam, sheh-he-che-yanu vi-kee-yimanu vi-hee-gee-yanu laz-man ha-zeh.
Blessed are You God, King of the Universe, Who has kept us alive, sustained us, and brought us to this season.
