FOR THE SEDER
Ideally, you would arrive to a table spread with the fruit of the trees. For this virtual seder, here are some guidelines for what to prepare. There are a wide variety of Tu B’shevat customs, but what they have in common includes:
1. Fruit of the vine, both white/light and red wine or juice.
2. Fruits of the trees (see below)
3. Produce of the land of Israel as mentioned in the Torah
Choose any or all from the below items—and/or enjoy pictures of them.
1. Enough wine or juice, both red and white/light, for four small cups. One could use water instead of light juice.
2. One or more foods from each of these categories:
• Tree fruit with a hard, inedible pit inside and a fleshy outside (such as olives, dates, plums, cherries, apricots). Dried fruit that no longer contains the pit is fine.
• Tree fruit or nuts with a hard inedible outer shell and edible inside (for example, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, coconut). Unshelled versions are fine.
• Fruit that can be eaten entirely ( figs, berries, apples, pears )
• Produce from the land of Israel: Dates, olives, figs, grapes, pomegranates, and anything made from wheat or barley.
SEEDS + a cup of earth to plant! On Tu B’shevat, it is fun to plant seeds of parsley, coriander, or other herbs to use as karpas for the Pesach seder to come.
