Today the 15th of the Hebrew Month of Shevat is Tu B'Shevat which means T'uV ( these two Hebrew letters come to 15 ) of the Month of Shevat . This day is the Rosh HaShanah for Trees . There are four New Years in the Hebrew Calendar . The 1st of Tishrei called Rosh HaShanah on which man was Created on which day HaShem Comes Down To Judges Man ; the 1st of Nissan is the New Year for calculating the years of the reign of the Kings of Israel and for counting the Pilgrimage Festivals beginning with Pesach in Nissan ; the first of Elul , the New Year for animal tithing and this day Tu B'Shevat , the Rosh HaShanah for Trees and the requirement for tithing their produce . This Festival is a sweet show of love for our Holy Land of Israel for as HaShem Says In Torah Devarim 8:8 , " A Land of wheat and barley , of vines figs and pomegranates , a land of olives and honey . " Also on this day , HaShem Judges the Trees and Foliage by our treatment of Nature and as Torah in Devarim 20:19-20 compares man to the trees of the field , so does this suggest a Judgement on man as well , who is to look after and watch over the Natural World That HaShem Gave us and bless it . We also pray on this day that we may be given a beautiful Esrog for Succos . ( Book of our Heritage -Eliyahu Kitov ) . Let us on this Day remember the Trees of Gan Eiden whose bark tasted like its fruit there and the 800 000 Trees in Gan Eiden , each one with a Spiritual Essence to flavour and lift man higher and also The Tree of Knowledge of Tov Ve Rah and the Tree of Life in Gan Eiden ( that both grew from a single root in the centre of the Garden , just as we all have a Single Source And That Is HaShem ) [ Midrash Says Bereishis - Rabbi M Weissman ] and on this day also do Teshuvah for what happened with Adam Ve Chava in the Garden , for this day the 15th is 1+ 5 = 6 , which is the preparation stage before the 7 which is the number of Moshiach and the End Of Days Olam HaBah .Chag Tu B'Shevat Sameach to beloved HaShem and my fellow Jews and the Whole Of HaShem's Creation with love .
