Smelling on Shabbat Besamim That are Still Attached to the Ground

Smelling on Shabbat Besamim That are Still Attached to the Ground
Day: Tuesday
Date: July 19, 2016
Parshat: Balak
Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 216


The proper beracha before smelling mint leaves, is boreh isbei besamim. This is true even if the mint leaves are ready to be consumed. It is a good idea on Shabbat to say berachot on besamim in order to reach the goal of one hundred berachot. One who is walking through a garden on Shabbat and enjoys the smell of the plants or flowers may say a beracha and smell the plants without concern that he might pick them.
