Ask the Rabbi
- Halacha
- What Bracha Does one say on...
- Fruits and Vegetables
Question
Is there a different al haeitz if the fruit is one of the 7 species
Should one say:
Al Ha’aretz Ve’al Peroteha vs
Al Haaertz veal pri haaretz
Answer
ב"ה
Shalom,
If you eat fruit of the seven species:
Olives
Dates
Grapes/ raisins
Figs
Pomegranates
which were grown in the Land of Israel , you end the bracha by saying, "Al Ha'aretz upeiroteha על הארץ ועל פירותיה
If the fruits of the seven species were not grown in Israel, you end the bracha by saying, "Al Ha'aretz v'al Haperot על הארץ ועל הפירות
as it appears in the Siddurim.
All the best
