Birkas Hailanos: Blessing on Fruit Trees. Please fill out the form. We’re making a list of available fruit trees.

Birchas hailanos – the beracha recited when fruit trees blossom in the spring—is a beracha that had once fallen by the wayside. Nowadays, however, birkas hailanos has had a revival; it is back on the map and blooming once again.
Many people now make a point of saying this beracha every spring. Some turn it into an outing, and whole families trek to a neighborhood tree to recite the beracha. A list of trees in our community is being gathered. Kindly fill out the form below so we can make this mitzvah available to the entire Dallas Jewish Community.
Please fill out the form to be added to our fruit trees spread sheet.
ברוך אתה ד’ אלהינו מלך העולם, שלא חסר בעולמו כלום, וברא בו בריות טובות ואילנות טובים, להנות בהם בני אדם.
“Baruch atah Hashem, Elokeinu Melech HaOlam, shelo chisar b’olamo klum, u’vara vo b’riyos tovos v’ilanos tovim l’hanos bahem b’nei adam.
“Blessed are You, Hashem, our G-d, Master of the universe, Whose world lacks nothing, and Who created within it beneficial creatures and beneficial trees to bring enjoyment to people.”
