What is the point of Tu B'shvat. The Holiday is a zionist ploy just to boost the economy to sell bukar to unsuspecting school children. I remember every year HALB's women league would come and give out goodie bags for Tu B'shvat. They were the worst goodie bags ever, if you were lucky you would get a sunkist in your bag. I am going to listen to a shiur now on the "holiday" and I will let everyone know if my opinion changes but until then we are not celebrating Tu B'shvat in the heights this year.
PS - I love the YU seforim sale, more to follow on this later
Is there any connection between Tu B'shvat and Tu B'av besides for the tu?
