ОТРЫВКИ ИЗ БЕСЕД РЕБЕ Ту-Бишват - Hовый год деревьев Ибо Г-сподь, Б-г твой, ведет тебя в страну хорошую, в страну водных потоков... в страну пшеницы, и ячменя, и виноградных лоз, и смоковниц, и гранатовых деревьев, в страну масличных деревьев и меда. (Дварим, 8:8)

Наши мудрецы рассказывают, что вначале все деревья были плодоносящими (то же самое будет и в эпоху Машиаха). Деревья, не дающие плодов - это признак несовершенного мира, потому что смысл жизни любого дерева - это его плоды. Продолжение на стр. 8

Blossoms in the Winter?

The calendar on my wall says January. But it’s also the Jewish month of Shevat, which means that Tu B’Shevat («the fifteenth of Shevat»), the New Year for Trees, is coming up, marking the beginning of the growing season for fruit trees. It is a day in which we thank G‑d for all the utility, beauty and pleasure that trees — and fruit trees in particular — give us. In the Land of Israel the almond trees are blossoming. But I live in Connecticut, and all I see is snow and bare branches.

This is because many of the celebrations in the course of the Jewish year — irrespective of where we actually live — follow the climactic cycle of the Holy Land. This is because the ideal place for a Jew to live is in the Land of Israel. And not just the geographical Land of Israel: our ideal is to live there with a rebuilt Beit Hamikdash (Holy Temple) and all the mitzvot associated with the land and the cycle of the year that is dependent upon the Beit Hamikdash. Пятнадцатый день еврейского месяца Шват, знаменующего конец зимы и начало весны, – особый. В Мишне он называется Рош-Ашана ле-иланот, Новый год деревьев. Читайте на стр. 10

Our Rabbis: Rabbi Yisroel Karpilovsky Rabbi Zalman Shuchat

After all, the need for a «new year for trees» is to mark the end of the «fiscal year» for the tithes that we gave to the Levites and the poor, and the portion of our produce that we took up to Jerusalem when the Temple was standing. Most of the Jewish people, at this point in time, live outside the land of Israel. Even in Israel, the tithes are not fully functional today as we do not have a Beit Hamikdash presently.
