Tu Bishvat

Tu Bishvat is a lesser known holiday, celebrated this year at sundown on January 29.  A celebration of the "New Year of the trees," it is customary to have a seder when observing it.  This Seder is much different than the Passover Seder, featuring dried fruits and nuts along with four glasses of wine.  It can be described as the Jewish Arbor Day.
