Tu BiShvat — New Year of Trees

Almond Trees, Israel
Kibbutz Netiv HaLamed-Heh, Israel, 1981

Since ancient times, Jews have celebrated the New Year of Trees on the 15th of the month of Shvat (February 10 at sundown in 2017). In Israel, the cold, rainy winter is coming to an end and flowering almond trees announce the arrival of spring.

In honor of Tu BiShvat, I’ve compiled a selection of my photographs and drawings of trees.
