Shevat 5785 by Sherry Lush

Greetings and Shalom to All!

Here we are in the 11th month of the year called Shevat! This month is famous for the 15th of Shevat, also called Tu Be'Shevat. This is the New Year for Trees. This is important for counting the tithes of produce, and the law of 'orlah' which tells us not to consume the fruits of a tree for the first three years. In the fourth year, the fruits are sanctified and are to be eaten in Jerusalem or 'redeemed' with money. In the fifth year the fruits are eaten without restriction.
