The Jewish Holiday in FEBRuARy 2025

Tu b’Shevat is considered the birthday for trees, which signifies the rebirth in nature.  This holiday is barely mentioned in the Talmud, other than in a debate between Shammai (who said that this holiday should be on the 1st day of the month of Shevat) and Hillel (who declared that the 15th was the right day - as per usual, Hillel prevailed).  (See Jerusalem Talmud, Tractate Rosh Hashonah, page 1).
