| | | Birchas Ha-Ilan" (the blessing of the tree). | | | | | Every year, people gather in our yard to make a blessing that can be made only once a year -- the blessing on blossoming trees, known in Hebrew as "Birkat Ha-Ilan, the blessing of the tree.
According to the Jewish tradition, when first seeing a fruit tree in bloom in the spring, we recite a special blessing. This blessing praises God for His ongoing renewal of creation and thanks Him for creating good trees in the world, for us to enjoy.
