Tu Bishvat

Refreshing Tu Bishvat Elli Fischer, Jewish Week. "Diasporic Jewish existence is like a dried fruit: flavor and freshness are sacrificed in the interest of durability and portability."

Rosh Hashanah, But Not Yom Hadin Ari Enkin, Torah Musings. "Many people mistakenly attribute Tu Bishvat as being the day of judgment for trees.  However, trees are judged on Shavuot, not on Tu Bishvat."
