About the holiday
A date out of the tax code: it fixed the year boundary for tithing fruit, so a harvest could be counted against the right year. Kabbalists in sixteenth-century Safed gave it a seder of fruit and wine, and modern Israel turned it into a tree-planting day. It falls when the almond trees flower, which is as close to spring as a Jerusalem January gets.
