Celebrate Tu B'Shevat

My favorite tradition is to plant parsley today and it will be ready for Pesach! So that is what we will do this week!

To celebrate we eat all kind of fruits of the trees especially the ones that grow in Israel...
Fruit with seeds inside, with seeds outside, with peel or shell and those that are totally edible.
Pomegranate, Grapes, Dates, Fig , Olives and Dried Carob fruit are Tu B’Shevat favorites.
A Hasidic custom is to eat the etrog and pray for a “kosher – blemish free” etrog for this year’s Sukkot. Remember that etrog jam we made after Sukkot? It is a good day to include it with your meals!
And of course to plant new trees!
