Tu B’Shevat, more commonly known among Sephardim Hamisha Asar B’Shevat in Hebrew or Las Frutas or Las Frutikas in Ladino.
A traditional Las Frutikas Seder can be found here in PDF.
This is an early 20th century Ladino poem about Las Frutikas which can be found here in PDF.
And, Miriam Behar led us all in this Ladino song for the holiday:
| Arvoles yoran por luvias montanyas por ayres Ansí lloran mis ojos por ti querido amante Lloro y digo qué va a ser de mí En tierras ajenas me vo murirBlanca sos, blanca vistes blanca la tu figura Blancas flores caen de ti De la tu hermozura Lloro y digo …Deshojar quero una roza y hacerme un vestido Para irme a pasear con ti mi querido Lloro y digo … Enfrente de mi hay un angelo |
Trees cry for rain And mountains for air That is how my eyes weep For you, beloved I weep and ask what will become of me In a far away land I shall dieYou’re fair-skinned, you dress in white Fair is your face White flowers fall from you From your beauty. I weep …I wish to depetal a rose And make a garment for myself In order to go with you, My dear. I weep … There is an angel in front of me |
