The Hebrew month of Nisan
is known as the month of Aviv.
The Hebrew word "Aviv" means
"Spring" and Nisan is, of course,
the month of Spring. There are
some commentaries who claim that
the word "Av" which means
"Father" and the second word
which has the letters "Yod" and
"Beth" indicates t h e number
twelve. This would signify that
the month of Nisan is the "Father"
or the "Head" of all the other
months of the year. Actually, in
most of Biblical literature, the
months are referred to by numbers
giving their successive relation-
ship to the month of Nisan which
is classified as the first month.
The month of Nisan is the begin-
ning or "head" of the month be-
cause it is the month during which
the Exodus took place when the
enslaved Hebrews left Egypt. This
event, being so central in Jewish
theology, was emphasized as the
first month since the peoplehood
of Israel was confirmed by the
event of the Exodus which indi-
cated the intention of the Almighty
to secure the destiny of His chosen
people.

itself takes up eight more days of
the month plus the day before
Passover, which are festive days.
This throws a cast of joy over the
whole month which is thus char-
acterized as a festive month in
which penitential prayers are de-
leted so that a mood of festivity
can endure for the entire month.
During this month of Nisan
the usual penitential prayers in
the daily services are omitted.
Most of the month has days in
which festivity is noted. The first
12 days of the month are the
days in which the 12 tribes
offered special sacrifices in the
Tabernacle of the Wilderness in
