Subject: It's Tu b'Shvat!
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!
Thru simcha, tshuvah and tfillah! | | ▪ | Some eat 15 different fruits, including shehechiyanu bracha, recite the 15 Shir HaMa'alos, also perek 89 of Tehillim! | | ▪ | It's a reminder that the year is a new one for trumos and ma'asros, orlah, and netah revii for the fruits of Eretz Yisrael. | | ▪ | The siddur Ya'avetz writes that eating peros ha'ilan on Tu B'Shvatcreates 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, 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. | Click here to read a special Tu b'Shvat tfillah (in Hebrew) A tfillah for a beautiful and fine esrog, composed by HaRav Rabbi Yosef Chaim of Baghdad, aka the Ben Ish Chai z"l, the Chachmei Ashkenaz z"ltook upon themselves to say these 4 paragraphs during the day of Tu B'Shvat, in Hebrew There are some humbling, seemingly simple yet deep lessons to learn from trees- click here for some of them- in English! Rosh Hashanah l'ilanot- sameach! fabia preminger | | | |
