During Tu BiShvat, we focus our attention towards the environment and environmental issues.

The Jewish New Year of the Trees, or Tu BiSh’vat, lends itself to many home observations and activities. Here are some ideas for crafts, planting, quiet activities, and more.
Yom HaAtzmaut History and Customs
