[Music] so i've mentioned yesterday and a few other times the once a year mitzvah that we have which is called birkat iranot the blessing of the trees and i spoke about it before the month of nisan because really the best time to say it is as soon as nissan comes in but i know for a fact that most people either forgot or just didn't know to say it and sunday is the last day of nissan sunday night is already even though you can say it also in yao but we're going to learn today why is it so important to say it also in nissan so since it's uh almost the last opportunity we can say it in the month of nissan unless you already did so it's very important to learn all the meaning behind it not only the simple explanation of the mitzvah i mean there's always a simple explanation of the mitzvah what's called the chat but there's also more inner meaning of the mitzvah so today what we're going to do is explain in a more deeper and profound way what's behind this once of a year mitzvah that we have most people think it's just like okay i see a tree i say a blessing and the story is over nothing is simple nothing is simple in the torah and if we have a mitzvah that means there's a lot to know behind it and what we're going to do today is first of all explain the simple part of the mitzvah the meaning behind it and then what the kabbalistic meaning to that and then another level underneath it or even a better to say a more spiritual more
