please enjoy our family's Tu bShvat table!

Closeup of three haggadot with a fruiting and flowering full colour botanical drawing of pomegranates overlaid with a black and white circle of moonphases, labeled in English and Hebrew as Seder Tu bShvat and Rosh Hashanah l'Ilanot

Closeup of a cheeseboard. Top left, clockwise as follows. Round container of herbed soft cheese, small jar of almonds, sliced red pear, a spoon, two white ramekins of olives, the lower stuffed with almonds, cut parmesan cheese, sliced brie. In center dried figs, golden raisins, and dried apricots.

Closeup shot of flowering white stonefruit blossoms. A cluster of 4 is visible, with a slightly blurry bud in midground.

An overhead shot of a table mostly set for Tu bShvat (I forgot the orange, cardamom, and water; and the vegetarian chili and yellow cornbread didn't fit). Top left clockwise as follows. Flowering pink tulips in a pink plastic wrap, red wine, a baby plate, white wine, a pecan pie with circular rays pattern, a wineglass, a spoon on yellow gingham napkin, the haggadah described above, a glass turkish teacup, a spoon on a red gingham napkin, another haggadah, a spoon on green gingham napkin, a wineglass, another haggadah. In center the cheeseboard described above and a plate of homemade puffed matzah.

If you're interested in the haggadah, a pdf is available, and I made a post with links to multiple Tu bShvat haggadot.

I wanted to at least get this first page out while it was actually Tu Bshvat, but this is the first part of a four part series!

Here we will see how Captain Bagel met a special someone...

captain bagel was created by the lovely @thecodyagenda

It's not a Chanukah question but I remember seeing a table of Jewish holidays and it had a column very specifically for trees and I was curious what the significance of trees is where that warranted it's own ""this is a tradition" column

Oh! Nothing :) its sorta just an internet jewish culture joke that jews like trees. It comes from the fact that a very popular holiday to celebrate is the new year for trees (tu bishvat) but in that chart they were also mentioning other holidays that also had connections to tree for funsies.

If you think olive trees are the only trees endemic/native to the Levant, I have zero respect for you, actually

Feeling special that my English birthday is on Tu Bshvat this year. I am one with the trees 🌳 I am Mother Earth.

Fruit anon here i am so sorry that it made you feel unsafe i was trying to mock the whole ‘people sending weird asks’ to us thing and it was just tu bshvat and i was thinking about fruit so i decided to send an ask about fruit and i did not mean to make you feel that weird i am so sorry please forgive me i am just very weird i am so sorry

Ooooh I completely misunderstood. I get antisemitic asks sometimes and I thought it was another antisemite who was going to make some bad joke or comment based on whatever i chose 💀 Maybe I'm a little paranoid.

Anyway my fav fruit is clementine and I'll fight anyone about it

Didnt know this, but christian dior's perfume miss dior is after his sister, who was semt to a concentration camp for protesting the nazis. And the company fired the fourth creative director for making an antisemitic comment in a bar. Also not convicted of any sexual disgustingness, so im a new fan of dior.

A 30 year old is not supposed to be living at home. Thats it. When elie lived somewhere else, it was peaceful and nice at home. Not everyone is meant to be at home. I have a different relationship with everyone.

I want trees. More and more and more trees. Theres so much associated with my name. And i want every kind of flower on the trees. I want to make a version of gan eden. Theres tu bshvat, tree of life, my name, the face that im an archer, im a flower, im a branch, a tendril, sunlight, butterflies. I want a huge instalation. I dont whether it should be 2d or 3d. I just want an insane amount of trees.
