- Q. See question above. I still don’t understand why we notice that so many Gedolim and Tzadikim made such a big deal and placed so much effort on getting together a significant group to recite the blessing on the trees. Why?
A. Indeed Gedolim and Tzadikim constantly have followed the opinion of the Kabalah Gedolim for the importance and transcendence of this brocho.
Halichos Shlomo (23 n. 121) mentions that Hagaon Rav S”Z Auerbcah ZT”L was extremely careful to comply with this brocho correctly. He once mentioned that since his Bar Mitzva never missed it.
Eliahu Rabba mentions that usually blessings recited for things we just see, we don’t have to place effort to look for them (storms, oceans etc.), in contrast to the brocho on the fruits of the trees, that brings the blessings of many tzadikim of all generations for a long, beautiful and healthy life.
