In ancient times, Israelite farmers would conduct pilgrimages to Jerusalem during the beginning of the harvest seasons. As the crops ripened, the first of each species would not be consumed; but instead, the Israelites would tie a binding around the branches and bring it to the Holy Temple as an offering.  This binding signified that these were “Bikkurim” or the First Fruit Offering.

Israel has seven native species, which are: barley, wheat, pomegranate, grapes, figs, dates, and olives.  In First Harvest, the seven species are symbolized by adding the four wheat shafts plus the two olive branches and the single binding.

From a numerological perspective, you may observe that there are eighteen olives in First Harvest.  The number eighteen symbolizes life or "chai"  in Jewish Numerology

"Let us rejoice in the Mitzvah of the shaking of the Lulav and Etrog together on Sukkot. This ritual, once performed by Kohanim Priests who worshipped in the Holy Temple in the days of antiquity acknowledges our diversity, proclaims our unity, and makes us a stronger and wiser people."                 --  Anne R. Steinman
