The Hebrew Month of
שְׁבָט
Month of the Trees
“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season.”
— Psalm 1:3
Shevat is the eleventh month, when, deep beneath the winter ground, the sap begins to stir and the earliest trees prepare to bloom. It is a month of quiet renewal — of life rising again before the eye can see it — celebrated in tradition as the season of trees and of patient, hidden growth.
Tu B'Shevat falls here — the New Year for Trees, celebrating renewal and connection to the land.
