A person who goes out during the days of Nissan and sees fruit trees in bloom, says [the following] ‘bracha’ (blessing): “Blessed [are you G-d our G-d, king of the universe], who left nothing lacking in His world, and created within it good creatures and good trees with which He gives pleasure to people”. A person only says this blessing when he sees the [blooming trees] for the first time, once every year.

Nissan is called “the month of Geulah (redemption)”, because the entire month revolves around Pesach, “the season of our freedom.” Nissan (ניסן) is also connected with the concept of miracles, נס in Hebrew. The two concepts are interrelated, for it was with great miracles and wonders that G‑d took the Jews out of Egypt. Indeed, since the word ‘Nissan’ has two letters ‘nun’ (נ) in it, it is related to “miracles of a truly wondrous nature.”
