Tu Bishvat, the New Year for Trees, is a beautiful time to celebrate new life after the long dormancy of winter. In the 17th century, a new custom developed to mark the day with a Tu Bishvat seder—a ceremonial meal inspired by Passover. Since it is a relatively modern tradition, there is no single “correct” way to hold a seder, and many communities have created their own Tu Bishvat Haggadot, often including four cups of wine and discussion around redemption and repairing the world.

BLOOM, Vine of David’s Tu Bishvat Haggadah, is inspired by the early pioneers of the modern State of Israel. It reflects on the centuries-long Jewish hope for a homeland and its culmination through Zionism in the 19th and 20th centuries. Simple and accessible, BLOOM focuses on the modern return of the Jewish people to their land as part of God’s wider plan of redemption.

PLANT is a companion booklet that explains Tu Bishvat in depth—its significance in Temple times, possible connections to Yeshua’s teachings, how it developed after the Temple period, and practical ideas for celebrating today.
