Birkas H ' lanos | Weekly Shiur by Rav Asher Weiss Shlit"a (Tzav 5786)

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Asher Weiss’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Mind, this is the last year we'll have before Pesach. Next week is already the week of of Pesach. We will have no shear, so our coming shear will be after Yom Tov and we'll be in touch to determine exactly when the shear will take place. The topic we will be discussing today is a relevant topic and that is birkas ilanous sh'mitzi'in prachim ayo tzeh b'yamei Nissan and he sees blossoming trees. M'varech sh'lo chisar b'olamo klum u'vara bo ilanous tovim u'vriyous tovos l'hanous bahem b'nei ha'adam. And that is a halacha that we find in Rambam perek yud m'hilchos brachos siman resh chof vav in Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim and the source is brachos mem gimmel mem bet. There is a a similar Gemara in brachos nun ches amud bet and that is not only yamei Nissan but haroeh b'riyous tovos v'ilanous tovim omer baruch sh'kocho l'olamoi. So whenever you see something beautiful, something appealing all year round, you say the baruch sh'kocho l'olamoi. That Hakadosh Baruch Hu gave us such a beautiful, such a wonderful world. But there's a special baruch ilanous m'lavlivin b'yomei d'Nissan. Are these two brachos similar or they're different in nature? So the Mishnah Berurah the resh chof vav seif alef is the din of hayotzei b'yamei Nissan v'roeh ilanous sh'motzi'in perach. One seif before that, resh chof hey seif yud, that is the other halacha and I'm reading the other halacha haloeh ilanous tovim u'vriyous tovos. Afilu oved kochavim omer baruch atah Hashem Elokeinu Melech ha'olam sh'kocho l'olamoi. What is the difference? Why these two different halachos, two different Gemaras, one daf mem gimmel and one daf nun ches? The Mishnah Berurah seif katan lamed bet, siman resh chof hey says our minhag is not to say the baruch sh'kocho l'olamoi and in Sha'arei
