Moses passed away on the 7th of Adar. Following G-d's instruction that Joshua should succeed him and lead the Jewish nation into the Land of Israel, Moses transferred leadership duties to Joshua on the day before he passed away. Thus the fifth day of Adar was the last day of Moses' leadership.

The Etrog grows on its tree for an entire year.

It grows from the loving summer sunlight
and from the cold winter darkness.

It grows from the furious autumn winds
and from the caresses of spring rain.

From all that comes to it, it grows.

And that is beauty.

Be an Etrog.
