Tu Bishvat is a celebration of the earth and it's produce, held on the 15th of Shevat (see calendar). It is based on the theme in Genesis where Yahweh and human beings are in partnership with the concern for the natural environment. Humans take responsibility for the earth and Yahweh cares for the whole universe. Gen 1: 11 Then Elohim said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. 12 …And Elohim saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning--the third day. 29 Then Elohim said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. Gen 2: 9 And the LORD Elohim made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground--trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. 15 The LORD Elohim took the human being and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. By celebrating this commissioning, we remember and remind others that their concern for the land and it's produce is not a trend but a lifelong commitment. This is a day to commemorate our connection to Eretz Israel and the bounty it provides Yahweh's people.
