hahahahah we did this song this year and we did the scarf dance at the same time... lets just say it was the funniest, most epic fail attempt at this song ever. lol
@mboschm - The Hebrew words refer to the calendar date in the month Shevat and the title you cite is the Hebrew numbering by letters followed by the month's name (ט"ו בשבט). And this is the New Year for Trees. You undoubtedly know most of this but not everyone reading and hearing here is Jewish; I had to look this up very carefully myself! (And strangely most transliterate the name as "Tu Be'Shevat" when in the actual Hebrew it is "Tu Bishvat", because that' how b- and the vocal shewa combine.)

This is beautiful. If you can, get a hold of it sung by the composer, Flory Jagoda, now in her 80s.

@davichon47 you have the lyrics?
mike002233 2 years ago
@mike002233 Hamisha asar, hamisha asar.
Ven a vermos, vamos kantar.
La Balabaya mos aspera kon kintze platos de fruta.
Bendicho sea tu nombre, siñor del mundo, frutas de Israel.
Which is ladino for:
Tu Be'shevat Tu Be'shevat.
Let us see each other, let us sing.
The housekeeper is waiting for us with fifteen plates of fruit.
Blessed beThy Name, Lord of the World. Israel fruits.
I am a native catalan-spanish speaker and except for Hamisha asar I could understand all.
