Dry fruits in the Mahane Yehuda Market, Jerusalem, Jan 20, 2008. TU BISHVAT is a minor Jewish holiday occurring in late winter/early spring. One of the four "New Years" mentioned in the Mishnah, Tu Bishvat marks the "New Year for Trees", (Rosh HaShanah La'Ilanot). The name Tu Bishvat comes simply from the Hebrew date of the holiday, which occurs on the 15th day of Shevat.Photo by Kobi Gideon / FLASH90. *** Local Caption *** ôéøåú éáùéí àéìåñèøöéä îæåï àåëì áñèä ùå÷
