LONDON, ENGLAND - JANUARY 28: Rabbi Michael Wollenberg's family mark Tu B'Shvat at their home in Woodford Green, on January 28, 2021 in London, England. Rosh HaShanah L'ilanot, (the new year of the trees), is commonly known as Tu B'Shvat, and marks the season in which the earliest blooming trees start their 'fruit bearing' cycle in Israel. For nearly the last year, the covid-19 pandemic and its resulting limits on public gatherings have forced religious communities to find new ways to observe their holiday, with many events being marked at home in small family groups.
