Tu BiShvat (Hebrew: ט״ו בִּשְׁבָט, romanized: Ṭū bīŠvāṭ, lit. '15th of Shevat') is a Jewish holiday occurring on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat. It is also called Rosh HaShanah La'Ilanot (ראש השנה לאילנות), literally "New Year to the Trees". In contemporary Israel, the day is celebrated as an ecological awareness day, and trees are planted in celebration.
