parashah Acherei mot - Kedoshim

 ACHAREI MOT
Another feature of the Day of Atonement service is the casting of lots over two goats, to determine which should be offered to G‑d and which should be dispatched to carry off the sins of Israel to the wilderness. We visulized the casting of lots putting one goat on a  drawing of Azazel and one of Shamayin

Birkat Ha'ilanot

The blessing on the trees - Birkat Ha'ilanot - during the month of Nisan belongs to the category of the blessings we recite on seeing wondrous things, for example, the ocean, lightening, a rainbow, passing through a place where a miracle happened etc.
Birkat Ha'ilanot is accordingly recited on seeing the wondrous renewal in nature, as the fruit trees blossom, in anticipation of our benefit from these trees, while acknowledging the deeper aspects of nature's renewal, and the connection of man with the botanic kingdom.

FRUITS AND TREES Board

This blessing is traditionally said when one is in view of at least two flowering fruit trees, anytime through the end of the month of Iyyar (in a climate where you can say it in Nissan it's considered best to do so). 
So we propose our  personal braka booklet this year too to use to say the braka under the trees. Afterward if you want you can take a picture of the moment to add inside the booklet.
