The Jewish New Year of the Trees, Tu B’Shevat starts on Wednesday, Feb. 12. In the 17th century, Kabbalists created a ritual for the holiday that is similar to a Passover seder. Several options to participate in a modern version of the Tu B’Shevat seder are listed here. The holiday is also a tree-planting festival in Israel, with Israelis and Jews around the world planting trees in honor or in memory of loved ones and friends
