In the entire gemora the term is always spelled out “chamisha asar bshvat” .. It’s never abbreviated with ט”ו….

It became the short version culturally with Isreal.. Etc… you can even see on a dollars video ( I believe it was one of the chazanim singers with a special needs child?) if you search,.. the Rebbe correcting him trying to use the short abbreviated version

The Rebbe never used the term tu bishvat rather chamisha asar bshvat.

Someone once walked in to yechidus by the Rebbe and said tu bshvat the Rebbe corrected him by saying: “you mean chamisha asar bshvat”. (This repeated itself twice in that yechidus)

(The term tu bishvat comes from the tziyonim…)

I was a little surprised at your perspective on what was clearly meant to be a light, fun ‘personality’ quiz. As a female, I was able to easily answer every question and all seemed to apply to either to male or female. If the question about helping a stalled car struck you as too masculine, it was obviously meant to represent any form of going out of your way to help someone- what would be your inclination in such a case. (And as a female who owns a car I have become quite adept at doing basic repair work!). Perhaps… Read more »
