NOW IN CROWN HEIGHTS: Birkas Hailanos Truck Coming To Crown Heights

by CrownHeights.info

With just two days left to make Birkas Hailanos, a truck with multiple fruit trees will be coming to the streets of Crown Heights on Thursday, giving each person a chance to make the Bracha while adhering to social distancing guidelines.

The truck and fruit trees were arranged by Ultimate Tree Care, and is being brought to Crown Heights with the help of Crown Heights Shomrim.

The truck spent part of Wednesday making its rounds of the streets of Flatbush, giving each person a chance to make the Bracha.

The truck will be driving the streets of Crown Heights beginning at 10:30 at Midwood Street and Albany Ave, and driving each street through Eastern Parkway. It will be covering from Nostrand Ave to Utica Ave.

For the bracha over the trees, there will be both an Apple and Cherry tree, along with some other bushes and plants. Each plant is transported in a large pot with soil, easily able to survive over a year.

Blessed are you G-d our G-d, king of the universe, who left nothing lacking in His world, and created within it good creatures and good trees with which He gives pleasure to people.
