Patti Friday: Blessings over Flowers

Every spring it’s customary to recite a prayer the primary time we see the brand new flowering of a fruit tree. Sometimes recited within the Hebrew month of Nissan (normally March or April), it’s doable to recite this springtime prayer in a unique month in case you reside in a local weather the place fruit bushes don’t flower in Nissan.

On seeing the blossoming, say:

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, Who has made nothing missing in His world, and created in it goodly creatures and goodly bushes to provide mankind pleasure.
