Tu B'Shevat
messianic minutes podcast
On this day the Jewish religion celebrates Tu B’Shevat, the New Year for Trees. The observance is named for its date, the fifteenth of Shevat, the eleventh month on the Hebrew calendar. While it is based on a passage in Leviticus 19 about the timing of eating the fruit from newly planted trees, in modern days it has become Israel’s Arbor Day. Yet God’s focus on trees goes profoundly beyond Tu B’Shevat; He uses the analogy of trees to point us to amazing truths about human kind and the life He has planned for all who believe.
