The New Year for Trees
Why did the trees get their own New Year?
The trees saw that G-d made a New Year for mankind and said: It is
written in the Torah, "The man is like a tree…" Therefore, if man has a
New Year, we also have to have a New Year of our own.
They were asked, "What month?"
The trees answered: “Trees need water, therefore it's better to have it in the
month of Shvat, whose sign is Dli (a bucket)”. During the month of Shvat
a time was set also for the mitzvah of planting.
