Tu BiShvat (ט״ו־בִּשְׁבָט ṭū bišḇāṭ) è una festività ebraica anche chiamata Capodanno degli alberi. Il nome della festività significa 15 del mese di Shevat, ovvero il giorno centrale del mese ebraico di Shevat.  

Il Tikkun (o Seder) di Tu-BiShvat è uno degli usi divulgati dai cabbalisti di Safad dal XVI secolo, sicuramente collegato alla tradizione di mangiare frutta in occasione dell'inizio dell'anno agricolo.

Il primo testo che ne riporta i dettagli è il "Chemdat haYamim" (lett. L'ornamento dei giorni), scritto a Gerusalemme nel XVIII secolo, da cui è stato estratto, nel 1823 a Livorno, un volume dal titolo "Peri Etz Hadar" (lett. Frutto di un albero di bell'aspetto).

Poiché Tu-BiShvat rappresenta una data importante per i precetti riguardanti la Terra di Israele, c'è l'abitudine di mangiare tutte le sette specie di frutti della terra per le quali viene lodata la Terra d'Israele nella Torah: grano, orzo (frumento o cereali in genere), uva, fico, melograno, ulivo, dattero.

Hanukkah, which is Hebrew for “dedication,” is the Festival of Lights.

It commemorates the victory of the Maccabees over the Syrian Greek army, and the subsequent miracle of rededicating the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and restoring its menorah, or lamp.

 The story of Hanukkah (Hebrew: חנוכה) is preserved in the books of the First and Second Maccabees. These books are not part of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), they are apocryphal books instead. The miracle of the one-day supply of olive oil miraculously lasting eight days is first described in the Talmud (Shabbat 21b), written about 600 years after the events described in the books of Maccabees.[39] 

 Many Hanukkah foods are deep-fried in oil, symbolizing the oil from the menorah used in the Temple. These include latkes, or potato pancakes, and jelly doughnuts. Other favorites include the Sephardic delicacy bimuelos and use, of course, applesauce as a latke topping. Chocolate gelt, a candy that gets its name from the Yiddish word for money, is another popular Hanukkah treat. 

Yom Kippur is one of the two High Holy Days, or Days of Awe (Hebrew yamim noraim), alongside Rosh Hashanah (which falls nine days previously).[19] According to Jewish tradition, on Rosh Hashanah God inscribes each person's fate for the coming year into the Book of Life, and waits until Yom Kippur to "seal" the verdict.[20] This process is described dramatically in the poem Unetanneh Tokef, which is recited on Rosh Hashanah in the Ashkenazic and Italian rites and on Yom Kippur in the Eastern Ashkenazic and Italian rites.

 For traditional Jewish people, it is primarily centered on atonement and repentance. The day's main observances consist of full fasting and asceticism, both accompanied by extended prayer services (usually at synagogue) and sin confessions. Many Jewish denominations, such as Reconstructionist Judaism (vs. Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, etc.), focus less on sins and more on one's goals and accomplishments and setting yearly intentions. 

Sukkot (Hebrew: סוכות or Hebrew: סֻכּוֹת, sukkōt) or Succoth is a seven-day festival, also known as the Feast of Booths, the Feast of Tabernacles, or just Tabernacles. It is one of the Three Pilgrimage Festivals (shalosh regalim) mentioned in the Bible. Sukkot commemorates the years that the Jews spent in the desert on their way to the Promised Land, and celebrates the way in which God protected them under difficult desert conditions. The word sukkot is the plural of the Hebrew word sukkah, meaning booth. Jews are commanded to "dwell" in booths during the holiday.[37] This generally means taking meals, but some sleep in the sukkah as well, particularly in Israel. There are specific rules for constructing a sukkah.
