Laws & Stories of Tu Bishvat

Tu Bishvat, the New Year of the Trees, is a much-loved holiday: one only has to see the sumptuously set tables, decorated with platters of brightly colored fruit. But few people are aware of the Kabbalistic and Halakhic treasures that this holiday holds.
The Maharal of Prague teaches that the tree has earthly roots while man has heavenly roots, much like an upside-down tree whose roots are in the sky…
Furthermore, the customs of Tu Bishvat raise many questions:
- Which fruits should we eat?
- Which order should be prioritized?
- Do we need to read specific texts?
To these questions and many others, this rich and focused book by Rav Chim'on Gutman brilliantly responds, allowing you to discover the hidden messages of this holiday.
