But this year is "Shmittah" (Sabbatical year) in Israel.
According to the Torah, all tree plantings are strictly forbidden.
So what's going to happen this year on Tu B'Shevat???
This Tu B'Shvat you can continue to support and strengthen the Land of Israel! In keeping 100% within the strict guidelines of Halacha (Jewish law) - we have set up a unique way to "plant" trees this Tu B'Shvat. Please read, get involved and pass this email to your friends. Tu B'Shvat is coming VERY soon!
1) In keeping with the custom of Tu B'Shvat: Order and pay for your new fruit trees now. (Before Jan. 22)
2) All money that is collected will be given NOW to Israeli farmers who live in Yehuda and Shomron (Judea and Samaria) and who keep the Shmittah laws. This money will be a great help to them since they are not engaged in any form of commerce this entire year. (Imagine if you had no salary for a whole year!!!)
3) The actual new fruit trees will be planted after Rosh Hashanah (Oct 2nd) - when it is permissible to do so. All orders received now will be FIRST IN LINE to be planted when the Shmittah ends.
4) A personalized, full-color certificate will be mailed to you listing the date - after Rosh Hashanah - when your trees will be planted. This certificate will be mailed to you NOW.
In summary:Order & pay for the trees now, have them placed on "reserve", get the money to the farmers now (who desperately need it), plant after Rosh Hashanah and get a beautiful personalized certificate suitable for framing!
In this unique way you have: · kept the Mitzvah of Tu B'Shvat · planted new fruit trees in Israel · and have a share with your brothers in the special Mitzvah of Shmittah.

This entire program has been organized, directed and sponsored by: Moshe Feiglin and Shmuel Sackett, Founders of Manhigut Yehudit and Zo Artzeinu.
