Episode 7 – Tu BiShvat: New Year for Trees
How did Tu BiShvat, originally just a date in religious agricultural law, become an Israeli holiday and a national tree-planting day?
And how have Israeli artistic views of working the land evolved over the generations?
Follow Romy Neumark as she observes key art pieces from the Israel Museum collections that shed light on this transformation.
Point of View is a partnership between Beit Avi Chai and the Israel Museum. Each episode presents a Jewish holiday theme through the eyes of objet d’art from the Israel Museum’s collection.
