This Jewish mini-holiday is of major importance to our appreciation of nature and our relationship to it. It is customary to plant trees and partake of the fruits of the land of Israel to mark the occasion. Many people in Israel and all over the world will participate in eating fruits at a Tu B'shvat Seder. The Jewish Trivia Quiz: Tu B'Shvat jewish-trivia.com Which fruit is used to make wine ? When did Kabbalists originate the Tu B'shvat Seder ? How many glasses of wine are drunk at the Tu B'Shvat seder ? What branch of a tree did the dove bring back after the flood ? How many days does the Hebrew month of Shvat have ? What is associated with both Chanukah and Tu B'Shvat ? In Israel, what happens to trees starting on the 15th of Shvat ? Since 1901, how many trees has the Jewish National Fund planted in Israel ? According to the Torah, which fruits did the spies bring to the children of Israel in the wilderness ? The above questions are examples from the multiple choice quiz. There are two levels of questions, two timer settings. Both kids and adults will find it enjoyable.
