THE ORDER OF BERAKHOT FOR FRUITS/NUTS: TuBiSh’vat PDF
- This is a learning activity package. Before food/drink and after food/drink there are traditional blessings=berakhot. In addition, there is a hierarchy of these blessings based upon the order in which food/drink is consumed. TuBiSh'vat brings a different mind-set in that we want to recite as many berakhot as possible, not just an order of minimal recitation.
