 Tu Bishvat is a minor Jewish holiday, usually sometime in late January or early February, that marks the "New Year of the Trees".Customs include planting trees and eating dried fruits and nuts, especially figs, dates, raisins, carob, and almonds.Many Israelis, both religious and secular, celebrate with a kabbalistic-inspired Tu Bishvat seder that includes a feast of fruits and four cups of wine according to the ceremony presented in special "haggadot" modeled on the Haggadah of Passover for this purpose.
