Tu BiShvat in Schools

Tu BiShvat - the original Earth Day - is February 13. Join hundreds of schools and organizations to celebrate Tu BiShvat Across America with Jewish National Fund-USA and IsraelLINK. Our two-part program includes Tu BiShvat curricula for your school and a fun tree planting contest!
 

Jewish National Fund-USA has planted over 265 million trees in Israel. While this is an impressive achievement, there is always a need for more. This Tu BiShvat, we are striving to replant the forests in the south and the north that have been decimated by rocket attacks and arson. We encourage every school and student to help continue to rebuild Israel by donating to plant even more trees. We will bloom again! 

Tree planting is a mitzvah! Class fundraisers for trees are a tradition on Tu BiShvat and now, more than ever, are a great way for your students and families to show their commitment to a strong and healthy Israel. With unique tree planting pages created for every organization, you can compete for a chance to win awesome regional prizes. Each organization that plants trees will also receive a beautiful plaque to proudly display!

The contest will run from January 1, 2025 to March 1, 2025.
