For a more elegant centerpiece, many stores sell miniature potted plants. Pull the look of your seudah together with these small but attractive centerpieces. They have the added bonus of thematic decor, while still being short enough that guests do not need to shift awkwardly in order to talk to the person across the table.
A beautiful dried-fruit platter can serve as a table display and double as dessert. Joel Schiff, owner of Teaneck’s World of Goodies has been preparing for Tu B’Shevat with a large selection of dried fruit. It can be purchased loose for any projects that you have in mind, or already arranged, perfect for impressive hostess gifts or centerpieces.
For any meal, large or small, place cards make an elegant touch. Try getting creative with the shape of the card—maybe a tree silhouette, or varying shapes of the seven foods of Israel that are especially fitting for Tu B’Shevat. For added fun, the back of the place card can have a question or fun fact related to Israel, trees, fruit or any topic you decide to include.
Many stores also sell tiny seed pots. Using these as a place card has an added bonus of being both a place card and a giveaway.

And God said: “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree that has seed-yielding fruit — to you it shall be for food.” (Genesis 1:29)
In the hour when the Holy one, blessed be He, created the first person, He showed him the trees in the Garden of Eden, and said to him: “See My works, how fine they are; Now all that I have created, I created for your benefit. Think upon this and do not corrupt and destroy My world, For if you destroy it, there is no one to restore it after you.” (Ecclesiastes Rabbah 7:28)
When you shall besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy (lo tashchit) the trees thereof by wielding an ax against them; for you may eat of them, but you must not cut the down; for is the tree of the field a man, that it should be besieged by you? Only the trees of which you know that they are not trees for food, them you may destroy and cut down, that you may build bulwarks against the city that makes war with you, until it fall. (Deuteronomy 20:19, 20)
And they came to Elim, where were 12 springs of water and 70 palm trees; and they encamped here by the waters. (Deuteronomy 15:27) Rabeynu Bachya saw a much deeper message. He stated that the 12 springs represented the 12 tribes and the 70 palm trees represented the 70 then nations of the world. He stated that just as the 12 springs nourished the 70 palm trees, the 12 tribes (the Jewish people) should serve to “nourish” the world by serving as a good example.
Happy is the man … who delights in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. (Psalms 1: 1-3)
Eating fruit on Tu Bishvat
And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.
Tu B’Shevat Day asks for us to think of Mother Nature. One Day can make a huge difference if we use it productively.
Though this might get messy, try having your children draw the trunk of a tree, then dip their hands in paint. They can then press their hands on and around the trunk of the tree at different angles while using different colors to create the leaves of the tree.
Using construction paper, have your children cut out the trunk of a tree using brown paper, and several smaller teardrop shaped pieces out of green paper to represent the tree’s leaves. Ask them why they are thankful to have trees and have them write those words on the leaves. You can then have them glue or tape the leaves onto the trunk, forming a “gratefulness tree.”
“May shefa, favor, and compassion be bestowed upon us, to pardon the iniquities and misdeeds that we have committed, causing the rains of beneficence to be withheld, so that all the sources of shefa were harmed…
“May all evil be removed…And may everything return to its original might and not be rejected…Then the trees of the forest will rejoice” and the tree of the field lift its branches and bear fruit daily…May it occur swiftly, in our days, Amen…. May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart find favor before You, YHVH, my rock and my redeemer. May the favor of Adonai our God, be upon us.…”
The real celebrations of Tu Bishvat are all about growing trees and spreading happiness around…. Best wishes on Tu Bishvat to you.
