Aviv (Hebrew:אביב) is a word that has several similar meanings in Hebrew. It is also used as a given name and surname.
Meanings
The basic meaning of the word aviv is the stage in the growth of grain when the seeds have reached full size and are filling with starch, but have not dried yet. During the plague of hail (Exodus9:31), the barley was said to be aviv and the flaxgiv`ol.
The month in the Hebrew calendar when the barley has reached or passed this stage (Exodus 13:4;23:15) is called Aviv, or the "month of the aviv": the seventh of the Jewish civil year, and the first of the Biblical ecclesiastical year. It begins about the time of the Northern spring equinox (March 21). Since the Babylonian captivity, this month has mainly been called Nisan (Nehemiah 2:1,Esther 3:7). On the sixteenth day of the month, harvest was begun by gathering a sheaf of barley, which was offered as a sacrifice to God (Lev 23:4-11), when the Temple in Jerusalem existed.
"Aviv" accordingly also means spring, one of the four seasons. Thus the major modern Israeli city of Tel Aviv means "Spring Hill".
The film focuses on the life story of the Israelisinger/songwriterAviv Geffen, who developed from an awkward little boy who was neglected by parents that “would rather buy hash than toys” into a nationally celebrated musician. The film combines old home videos, footage from on stage performances and private interviews in order to track Aviv Geffen's musical success and explain his complex personality.
