The Season

 

        

 

 

Parshas Hashavua אמור

        
 לז"נ מורי חמי הרב עקיבא בן ר' שמואל סטפנסקי זצ"ל   
          ברם זכור אותו האיש לטוב שהקים אלפי בנות ישראל לתורה וליראה 
          יום השנה היום יום י"א לחדש זיו  כ"ו לעומר       
          חבל על דאבדין ולא משתכחין

חצי תשרי מרחשון וחצי כסליו, זרע

Bava Metzia 106b



There are six seasons in the year, each lasting
for two months. The first season of "זרע" starts
in חצי תשרי (first day Sukkos) the complete month
of מרחשון and the first half of כסליו

אבי מורי, ר' צבי יהודה בן ר' משה זללה"ה said, on the
famous Midrash, ולקחתם לכם ביום הראשון"
Rishon L'cheshbon Avonos.

Perhaps the original גירסא was עונות
instead of עוונות (difference in spelling only one vav)
Seasons instead of sins.  The first day of Sukkos
(15 Tishrei) is the first day of the first season” זרע”.  

The גמרא says that the נענועים (shaking of the Lulav)
rids the world, from harmful winds and dew. The Torah
said the Lulav should be taken on the first day of זרע to
rid of the harmful weather from the planting season.
