הלכה על בראשית 43:11

Balsam oil⁵Balsam is a valuable, fragrant oil, mentioned in Genesis 43: 11 as tzori. It is obtained by making an incision into the tree trunk, stripping the bark, after which the oil trickles out. (Mishnah Berurah 216: 22) which grows in the Land of Israel, enjoys a prominence as a product of the Land of Israel, and a special berachah has been instituted for it, which reads: Borei shemen areiv [Who has created pleasant-scented oil].
