Unless you happen to own a fruit-bearing tree in Israel, Tu Bishvat (the day that marks the beginning of a "new year" for trees) is a day of symbolic rather than practical significance. We celebrate the day by eating fruit (fresh or dried!) and by reflecting on all the homiletical lessons trees and the growing process can teach us.
We hope these recipes will inspire you to create something beautiful and tasty to mark the occasion. Read on for our top Tu Bishvat picks.
