"The fig tree puts forth her green figs,
      And the vines with the tender grapes
      Give a good smell.
      Rise up, my love, my fair one,
      And come away!"
-Song of Solomon 2:13

When do grapes ripen in Israel?  Autumn!
When do figs?  In the heat of the Summer!
The allusion of the Song of Solomon points to the Spring AND Fall festivals!!!
(Shavuot and Tabernacles).  Tabernacles is in four weeks!!!  :)))

Shalom Aleichem!
