ברכת האילנותWith the month of Nissan now upon us, don’t forget to make the bracha on the new buds of fruit trees when you first see them. For your convenience, in case you have no idea where to find a budding fruit tree, we have compiled a couple local locations by BTYA member houses: Braude: Hamaor 9/1. Plum & lemon trees in blossom can be seen

from pavement.

Bisk: Dolev 48/1 two lights down. At least two trees in bloom. Just walk straight into the garden (you don’t have to ask at the door)

Gherman (Eliyahu and Shulie): Nachal Tamar. 4 trees in the back from the gate or you can come into the back if we're home. They are already blooming so not sure. Would come as soon as possible.

Rosenstein: Refaim 7/2. 1 lemon - front yard, 1 rimon - back yard. Can stand on side of the house and see both.

Kaufman: Nachal Luz 10/3. Olive and Lemon trees can both be seen at the same time on the steps up to our front door.

Sonnenberg/Kagan: Luz 8/4-5 Citrus trees. Can be seen from the Luz sidewalk outside both homes.

A Message From The Rav Redux Moraiy VeRabosaiy, and Ladies of BTYA:

This past Shabbos I spoke in Shul about how something spiritual always has the power of renewal, of hischadshus, of freshness, while temporal matters, under the auspices of time, get boring, and lose their thrill. I also talked about spiritual matters possibly being performed perfunctorily, making them, in effect, temporal; and how seemingly temporal matters can be experienced spiritually, keeping them fresh, exciting, and new.

I gave a few examples: Songs; trips; davening; learning; marriages.

A few weeks ago, the Shul collectively embarked upon a Chessed Initiative, where we, and our children, would focus on what we could do for a fellow Jew. A chart was designed (thank you, Mrs Lavi!), and everyone really “got into it”. The hope, the prayer, was that this collective effort would call down a shefa of chessed resulting in a refu'ah shelaymah for Yeshaya Shalom ben Malka Gitel. This was based also on various writings of the Chofetz Chaim.

It is now a few weeks later. Did your passion quiet down? Is the chart on the refrigerator now covered up with Pesach drawings?

It is now just before Pesach. The need, and opportunities, for chessed undoubtedly abound.

And Yeshaya Shalom is still waiting. As are his parents. As are all of us. Every DAY may be consequential.

Please re-awaken the excitement, the fervor, the eagerness.

Does someone you know (or don't know!) need help with_____? (fill in the blank)

Be proactive, please--Yeshaya Shalom deserves our help!

Speak out that it is being done l'zechus refu'as Yeshaya Shalom Ben Malka Gitel.

AND ALSO---KEEP THOSE TEFILLOS coming! How many times did Moshe Rabbeinu daven that he be allowed to enter Eretz Yisrael? 515. Five hundred and fifteen.

Didn't get "bored".

Rabbosaiy, Ladies: Let's go!
