Tu B’Shevat is coming and have you prepared your fruits and picnic bags? Sadly, because of the current situation we’re in, we just have to go on a picnic instead of the much awaited Jewish trips. For those who have stumbled in here by chance searching for amazing treats, Tu B’Shevat, also known as Rosh HaShanah La'Ilanot or the New Year for the Trees, always takes place at the 15th Shevat in the Hebrew Calendar which is usually around late January or early February. It is one of the New Years described on the Mishnah as it marks the beginning of spring in Israel, it celebrates the natural world where appreciation is given to everything that grows on earth. Aside from donating and planting trees during this Holiday, Jews, especially those who partake in Tu B’Shevat seder, will eat at the very least, 15 different fruits and vegetables, meat-less, and vegan friendly. Tradition also tells us that you should include the seven species mentioned in the Torah, wheat, barley grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates. Maybe you’re bored just eating all those 15 fruits and vegetables alone, well, we’re here to help you out, here are some recipes you should do to upgrade your seder.

Learn the recipe here: https://www.thedailymeal.com/recipes/seven-species-muffins-recipe Going on a kosher holiday offers a lot of benefits compared to a regular trip, which many Jewish travelers will definitely appreciate. However, on one hand, a regular trip also has its own charms. On the other hand, it can be quite annoying when you’re going on a trip and lots of things prove to be troubling, from dining arrangements to compromising important days on the Jewish calendar. Here are some of the biggest concerns that Jewish travelers are likely to face when not on a fully kosher travel tour. Complimentary Dining Isn’t Always Fit to Your Needs When going on Glatt Kosher vacations, you’ll expect to enjoy every bit of what you paid for. Unfortunately, if you’re not choosing a purely kosher travel experience, there’s no assurance that your daily meals fit your dietary needs. Constantly asking and double checking may dampen your vacation experience. There May Be Scheduling Conflicts With Your Weekly Practices The days of the week can be particularly important to Jewish travelers. Properly timing long excursions to not clash with Sabbath Day, for example, shows a healthy balance of keeping up with your religious beliefs even while on a great adventure in another world. If you go on a regular cruise, however, you run the risk of going on an adventure that schedules all the exciting things on Saturdays. Hidden Charges In order to meet your lifestyle needs, you will definitely have to ask for extra adjustments on the travel line’s part, and while not all the time, it might cause some extra charges that you’re not immediately made aware of. Different dishes, for example, may require additional fees that pile up by the end of your trip. Hopefully, as you plan your next trip, consider these potential challenges and how choosing a kosher holiday line can change how enjoyable your trip will be. In the meantime, keep safe at home! |
