Mishna: Mesechet Ma’aser Sheni Perek 5 Mishna 13
Presented By: Avrum Leeder Written by: Tsvi Levy

The mishna in Ma’aser Sheni mentions that the "Declaration of Ma'aser" includes a prayer that the fruit of the Land should have a good taste.

Question
Why should the prayer include that the fruit of the Land of Israel be tasty?

Answer
The good taste of the fruit of the Land refines a person, making one happier, and this connects him to Torah study. For Am Yisrael, sanctifying the material is a national goal by showing the world that material things can be used as a means of serving God.
