Jews in many communities plant trees or donate money to plant trees in Israel on Tu BiShvat. Ashkenazi Jews may have a seder meal with 15 kinds of fruits, which is a practice that originated in the mystical tradition of Kabbala. Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews celebrate a feast of fruits on this holiday, but they include various numbers of fruits. Bene Israel Jews in India celebrate with a meal called malida, which includes a dish of the same name made with puffed rice (poha) and dried fruits.
