“Our sages of blessed memory have said that we must not enjoy any pleasure in this world without reciting a blessing. If we eat any food, or drink any beverage, we must recite a blessing over them before and after. If we breathe the scent of goodly grass, the fragrance of spices, the aroma of good fruits, we pronounce a blessing over the pleasure. The same applies to pleasures of the sight. And the same applies to pleasures of the ear.” IfsWorldSaidEnjoyMemoriesPleasureThis WorldDrinkBlessingEarsSightBlessedFruitBreatheGrassScentSageFragranceSpicesBeveragesAromaBefore And AfterReciting Author:Shmuel Yosef Agnon
