Happy Tu Bishvat (think of it as Jewish Arbor Day)!

Instead of the Zionist practice of planting invasive pine trees, you can sponsor planting of olive trees in Palestine here: https://zatoun.com/product/trees-for-life/

The program is called Trees for Life. You can also sign up for updates from Zatoun for when their olive oil is back in stock!

I'm scheduling this for after Tu Bishvat is over cuz fuck @bringmemyrocks you for ruining my tree day fun

so, things to say about this:

1) good job turning Tree Day into a political discourse, taking our culture and making it about Palestinians. definitely not cultural appropriation at all.

2) Olives have been a major significance in Jewish culture. the story of Noah's arc with the dove carrying an olive branch, the Miracle of Hanukkah with the jug of olive oil that lasted for 8 days, and the countless references to them in the Torah. they're a symbol of peace, prosperity and life in Judaism.

3) there's an ongoing debate on wether the Jerusalem Pine is an invasive species or not, it is spreading over some areas of Israel and is an ongoing concern, but there's no practice of planting them deliberately. I have no idea where you got this from.

4) it's not "Jewish Arbor day", it's much more than that. it's a day of ecological awareness, agricultural celebration, and appreciation of local harvest. it's THE BIRTHDAY OF THE TREES. we celebrate the 7 species, listed in the Torah as the special products of Israel (as in, our local specialties).

אֶ֤רֶץ חִטָּה֙ וּשְׂעֹרָ֔ה וְגֶ֥פֶן וּתְאֵנָ֖ה וְרִמּ֑וֹן אֶרֶץ־זֵ֥ית שֶׁ֖מֶן וּדְבָֽשׁ

aka: land of are wheat and barley, and grape and fig, and pomegranates, olive oil, and [date] honey.

we're celebrating our local produce. We've had a local holiday for environmental awareness for thousands of years.

you could have talked about that charity without spreading disinformation, and without bringing up our fucking holiday. good day to you.

So, I know that quite a few people know the Jewish joke: “they tried to killed us, we survived, let’s eat”, and a friend found this chart years ago explaining all the Jewish holidays and fast days through that joke, with one very important addition: TREES.

And since today was Tu B’Shvat, I found myself thinking that this would be a great day to share it.

Enjoy :)) and hag sameach!! <333

Etz Chaim, Tree of Life, is one of my favorite Jewish prayers (especially this melody), and I love singing it on Tu Bishvat. Tu Bishvat sameach!

It’s Tu B’shevat soon, and whilst it’s customary for many to donate to Israel with intend to fund tree planting there, all we can think of is the many olive trees the IOF have destroyed bombing Gaza. The olive trees native to the land, that Palestinians nurtured for generations. We think of the land itself, brutalised by violent occupation— historic buildings destroyed, homes that have been lived and loved in for generations flattened. This Tu B’shevat, it feels almost wrong to plant a seed in our soil whilst the land of Palestine is being destroyed, bombed, bodies being pulled from the ground where it should be produce. There is death where there should be life, in the soil itself. It feels we can only mourn.

Water in Gaza is not safe for human consumption, by the toxins from broken plumbing infrastructure and the residual from countless bombing. How white phosphorus pollutes and poisons everything that it touches, from flesh to grass and the air itself. Bombing pollutes the Earth and contributes to the current climate crisis at levels far beyond what an individual using a plastic straw could ever contribute.

The colonization of Palestine has ushered in a climate crisis, destroying native flora and terrain in the name of “reclaimation”.

We weep, as Jewish souls, for the land that is being destroyed in our name. For the Earth that is being polluted in our name. There is nothing Jewish about destroying the Earth.

today is tu bishvat, the new year of the trees in the hebrew calendar. today, i am thinking of thousand-year-old olive trees pulled from the earth by israeli occupying forces, the soil salted so that not even the hardiest of bitter melons can grow. today, i am thinking of the toxins from israeli bombs poisoning the land and water in gaza. today, i am thinking of a world without israeli tanks and bulldozers. today, i am thinking of how many trees will be planted in a free palestine someday, their roots growing so deep that they will never relinquish their hold on the soil.

Today is Tu B'shvat, the Jewish New Year for the Trees!!

Back in Ancient Judea, holidays were often created based on agricultural seasons. Tu B'shvat is the holiday for the harvest of fruit trees!

Customs

Over the centuries different Jewish people have come up with different things to do on Tu B'shvat. One of the most common is to eat fruit! Others plant trees and raise environmental awareness. Some Kabbalists (Jewish mystics) even came up with a whole festive meal (Seder) with special symbolism.

As we start to look towards spring, it's nice to take a moment to appreciate the earth and all it's glory.

Believe it or not, the Rabbis stated that there are actually FOUR new years on the Jewish calendar!

1. Rosh Hashanah - New Year for the world, when we were all created

2. Tu B'shvat - New Year for the trees!

3. 1st of Elul - New Year for animals, also for agricultural purposes

4. Pesach/Passover - New Year for the Jewish people, when we became a nation
