Dear Friend,

Tonight/tomorrow, the 15th of Shvat, there are several customs relating to Tu B'Shvat:

▪ The G'ra (Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 131:6) writes that all four Rosh Hashanas that are written in the beginning of Masseches Rosh Hashanah are all yomim tovim. And, the very fact that it is called Rosh Hashanah should remind us that it is another opportunity to start again! Through simcha, tshuvah­ and tfillah!
▪ Some eat 15 different fruits, including shehechiyanu bracha, recite the 15 Shir HaMa'alos, also perek 89 of Tehillim!
▪ The siddur Ya'avetz writes that eating peros ha'ilan on Tu B'Shvat creates a Tikun Gadol BaOlamos HaElyonim (a great tikun in the upper worlds).
▪ Some have the special custom of eating esrog jelly, as this is our premium example of our Pri Etz Hadar, our finest fruit!
▪ The Kabbalists explain that there is a much deeper significance to the fruits of the Land of Israel! Each corresponds to one of the seven sefiros (Divine emotive attributes):
Wheat: Chesed (Kindness)
Barley: Gevurah (Severity)
Grapes: Tiferet (Harmony)
Figs: Netzach (Perseverance)
Pomegranates: Hod (Humility)
Olives: Yesod (Foundation)
Dates: Malchus (Royalty)
Every soul possesses all seven of the above attributes, each one in a different combination, as each person is unique. These seven fruits correspond to our serving Hashem with our personal attributes, as well as with all seven general modes of Divine service.
▪ Tu B'shvat is a reminder that the year is new for trumos and ma'asros, orlah, and netah revii for the fruits of the trees of Eretz Yisrael. Giving tzedakah on Tu bShvat parallels this tithing of the fruits that renews on this day.
How appropriate to give to couples who bear fruits in Eretz Israel, eternaly!
