After tonight, you'll wait another year.
That's not metaphor. Tu B'Av ends at sunset today. After that, any fruit tree you plant won't count as Year 1 of orlah under Jewish law. Farmers lose 12 months of growth, thousands in costs, and the halachic advantage of planting now. The window doesn't reopen until next summer.
This morning, communities are planting. At Derech Hashem in the Shomron, families and volunteers are in the vineyard with shovels and saplings. Farmers in Tekoa, Shilo, Yitzhar, Elon Moreh, and beyond are getting trees in the ground before sundown.
One tree costs $45. Two trees cost $90 with code TWO4TU. Matched impact, tonight only.
This isn't a donation for a future goal. This is joining people actively planting for land security, for community, for the future. Right now, today. Every dollar goes into a sapling going into the earth today.
If you can't come to Derech Hashem to plant in person (11 AM start), you can plant from your phone. Order a tree, and volunteers plant it on your behalf before sundown. Your name comes with it. Your partnership is real.
Partner with them now. Double your order. Use code TWO4TU.
Families living in communities under threat are planting anyway. They're saying: we're here, we're rooted, we're not leaving. When you plant with them, you're not just funding saplings - you're standing with them. You're fulfilling mitzvot tied to the Land itself, mitzvot unique to Israel that carry a blessing: "I will ordain my blessing for you."
Three days. A halachic window closing. Help plant roots before it closes.

The deadline is tonight. The work is happening now.
Plant before sunset: $45 = 1 tree (matched to 2 with TWO4TU).
Help plant roots. Stand with families. Build the future.
