Happy Tu Bishvat
In winter, trees have no flowers or fruits, so why do (we) celebrate the
trees’ new year specifically on Tu Bishvat? Our sages scheduled the trees’
new year in winter because they said that the fruits begin to grow already
now. Our sages put focus on the process, and not on the fruit we eat. And
what about us? Do we have patience for processes? Not always. We
always run forward: at school, in the army, at the university and work. But
maybe if we stop for a moment, and learn the patience for the process from
Tu Bishvat, our fruits will be sweeter.
