“The Fifteenth of [The Month of] Shevat”
Known as the New Year of the Trees, the date is used to calculate the age of a tree for the purposes of tithing. For the past 500 years, it has become a celebration of the land of Israel and is often observed with a festive meal consisting of the 7 species of the Land of Israel and many other tree fruits.
