The Iron Swords War, which began in October 2023, opened a northern front with Hezbollah, escalating during the summer of 2024.
Tu Bishvat 2025 marks the second Tu Bishvat since the outbreak of the Iron Swords War. The pain endured is immense: over 1,800 Israelis were killed, more than 22,700 injured, and 100 still held captive. Residents from over 80 communities remain displaced, awaiting the revival of Israel’s northern and southern districts.
At Keren Kayemet L'Israel we are eagerly anticipating the beautiful holiday of Tu BiShvat. It is especially noteworthy that Jews outside the Land of Israel feel a special connection to this day. No doubt this comes out of a longing for Eretz Yisrael, a love and concern for the people and the Land of Israel.
