The shade of the fig

And from simple plastic boxes showing staring me oval and mature. Chapped Sun and juice. Figs in 
Palestine sweet and fragrant. I choose very carefully the ripe fruit but not too much. But not very soft. Beautiful but not the best. These will be the most delicious figs, just at the height of inopportuneness. Not a moment later, probably not before.
As a child plant a fig tree in the inner courtyard of the local elementary school. When the school was carried odor around the yard, into the school hallways and out into the manager's office overlooks the tallest tree and respected. The ripe fruit pickers were small and nimble fingers, eat away abruptly, stain Center shirt and bright blue colored uniform.

For me the fig tree is a symbol of the fall of Israel. It brings the message of the festival, a sense of renewal, and suggests Birthday door. Should the outbreak in September I will make a royal banquet purely figs. Wild fig salad, fancy pot of meat and figs, and a piece of pound cake with almonds, figs and espresso.
