Tu B'Shvat, the New Year for Trees, falls on the 15th of the Hebrew month of Shvat, January 18 this year (5763 / 2003). This mini-holiday is of major importance to our appreciation of Nature and our relationship to it.

Tu B'Shvat Trivia

Tu B'Shvat Word Search Game
Enter the Multilingual Word Search game and choose the language you would like to play in: English, Hebrew or Russian. There is an easy mode for the kids and a harder mode for us big kids. Learning Tu B'Shvat words has never been more fun. Each game is randomly generated from a special list of Tu B'Shvat words. You can even print out a blank game (and the solution page) for offline playing. The easy mode was simple? Try the hard mode in a foreign language with the timer on. Remember that looking at the solution page is a last resort :-)

Hebrew Tu B'Shvat Songs with Vowels (Nikud)
