🌳 Tu Bishvat 2027
Tu Bishvat begins at sundown and is observed 22–23 January 2027.
Tu Bishvat is the Jewish "New Year for Trees," celebrated on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat — 22–23 January in 2027. Rooted in agricultural law from the Torah, the day marks the point in the Israeli growing season used to calculate the age of fruit trees for tithing. Over time it has grown into a holiday of nature, gratitude, and renewal, celebrated with a Tu Bishvat seder featuring fruits and nuts associated with the Land of Israel — especially the seven species named in Deuteronomy: wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates. Families mark the day with tree-planting, blessings over fruit, and — especially for children — hands-on activities that connect them to the land and the season's harvest. Below, we've gathered our favorite certified kosher seven-species snacks, books, tree-planting ideas, and gifts to help you celebrate Tu Bishvat at home.
🌴 Seven Species & Kosher Nut Snacks
Certified kosher nuts and superfood powders for your Tu Bishvat table.
Nuts and dried-fruit powders are naturally suited to Tu Bishvat's fruit-and-nut seder tradition — all six Food To Live products above are pareve and easy to build a seder plate around. The juice powders in particular make a simple way to bring pomegranate, a biblical seven species fruit, and other symbolic fruits into the day even outside of seder season.
📖 Tu Bishvat Books for the Whole Family
A grown-up guide to the holiday, plus two favorites for little readers.
Whether you're introducing the holiday to a toddler or looking for the history behind the customs, these books cover Tu Bishvat from a few different angles. Sammy Spider's First Tu Bishvat is a longtime favorite in Jewish preschool classrooms for its gentle, repetitive storytelling style.
Tree-planting is at the heart of Tu Bishvat — many families mark the day by planting a tree of their own, or by supporting reforestation in Israel. Jewish National Fund (JNF) has planted trees in Israel on behalf of donors for generations, and a Tu Bishvat tree donation is a meaningful way to teach children about the holiday's deeper meaning while contributing to the land itself.
🌱 Gardening Tools for Kids
Hands-on tools to bring Tu Bishvat's tree-planting spirit home.
Pairing a tree donation with a hands-on planting activity at home makes the "New Year for Trees" tangible for kids — even a small herb pot or seedling on the windowsill echoes the holiday's themes of growth and gratitude.
🎁 Snackberry Fruit & Nut Gift Baskets
Ready-made kosher gift baskets for Tu Bishvat sharing.
A ready-made gift basket takes the effort out of assembling a Tu Bishvat spread — all three Snackberry options are pareve and travel well, making them a good choice for gifting to teachers, hosting a seder, or sending to family further away.
✏️ Tu Bishvat Activities for Kids
Activity books to bring the holiday into the classroom or playroom.
Activity books are an easy way to keep kids engaged with Tu Bishvat's themes beyond the seder table — great for Hebrew school, a rainy afternoon at home, or as a quiet activity while the grown-ups prepare the fruit platter.

🔍 What to Look For
A quick guide to building a genuine Tu Bishvat spread.
The seven species: wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates are the traditional core of a Tu Bishvat seder — try to include at least a few on your table.
Kosher certification: always check the packaging for a recognized kosher symbol (such as OU, OK, or Star-K) before serving — certification can vary between flavors and product lines from the same brand.
Pareve vs. dairy: most dried fruit and raw nuts are pareve, but flavored or coated nuts can sometimes contain dairy — check the label if you're serving alongside a dairy or meat meal.
