Despite the fact that Tu B’ Shevat is discussed in both the Mishna and Gemara there is very little information available about the Holiday as well as not having a well defined structure to follow it. In the mid 1500’s the students of the Ari, Rabbi Isaac Luria Ashkenazi zt”l formulated a special Tu B’Shevat Seder that was set up along the lines of the Pesach (Passover) Seder. They wrote a brief pamphlet entitled the Pri Eitz Hadar which offers us a structure that provides a positive and enjoyable way to celebrate this spiritual and meaningful holiday. This is the first stage of the countdown to Pesach which is in exactly 60 days from tonight.
