KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT MUVTACH LO SHEHOO BEN HAOLAM HABA

1. On days when we don't say Tachanoon, we usually don't say the Mizmor of "Ya'ancha Hashem Beyom Tzara" in the Ashrei after Amida and "Tefillah LeDavid" because they include words of tzara, suffering. On days of Chag or Yom Tov or Shabat we replace "Mizmor LeTodah" in Shacharit with other Prakim of Tehillim, so you would think you do this also during Erev Pesach (day before Pesach) or Chol HaMoed, but we do not. During Chodesh Nissan the entire Congregation can't mark a Ta'anit Tzibur (fast day usually done for the Refuah Shlema of a friend), but one can do a Ta'anit Yachid [individual fast for a day which is usually done as a minhag on the day of a parent's Yortzite]. In times of Chag /Simcha we do not say "Tzidkatcha" after Mincha Shabat.

2. One should search for a fruit tree with bloomed flowers on Chodesh Nissan to say Birkat HaIlanot which is only said once only during Chodesh Nisan [look in your Siddur for the Bracha]. Women are also obligated to say this Bracha. We only say the Bracha on trees that bear fruit that we eat [ex. Almonds, Walnuts, etc.].
