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 (רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה לְאִילָנוֹת, 'Head [of] the Year for Trees'). In contemporary Israel, the day is celebrated as an ecological awareness day, and trees are planted in celebration.
