Resources from around the world in different languages about the New Year of the Trees.

.
First mentioned in the Mishnah, Tu Bishvat is one of the four Jewish New Years; each with its own purpose, accounting, and role in demonstrating that life is a constant parade of new beginnings.
Tu Bishvat was, according to the view of the school of Hillel, the New Year for agricultural purposes, and specifically for paying the annual tithes due on fruit.
In his Tu Bishvat message, Executive Director Rabbi Mauricio Balter reflects on the quiet power of growth, the kind that happens without noise, miracles, or spectacle.
Drawing on Jewish sources and the symbolism of trees, he reminds us that responsibility, commitment, and hope are built through patient, consistent action, even in uncertain times.
We invite you to watch the full message and reflect on what we are planting today, together.
NOAM is excited to share their first ever Tu Bishvat Seder Haggadah, created in line with our values of Tikkun Olam and sustainability.
Tu Bishvat is a moment to reflect on our roots-what grounds us, and the values we carry forward as individuals, as communities, and as part of the Jewish people.
NOAM's haggadah, available in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Ukrainian, moves through the imagery of the tree - roots, trunk, branches, and leaves - offering simple texts and questions that can open meaningful conversations for different ages and settings.

📄 "After the founding of the modern State of Israel, there was a revival of interest in Tu Bishvat.
In Israel it is customary for school children to go out on that day to plant saplings, thus transforming the day into a kind of Jewish Arbor Day. Tu Bishvat has been given an environmental spin in some circles in recent years."
