So Israel, their father, said to them, "If so, then do this: take some of the choice fruits of the Land in your vessels, and carry down to the man as a present, a little balm and a little honey, wax and lotus, pistachios and almonds."
GENESIS (43:11)
וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲבִיהֶם אִם כֵּן אֵפוֹא זֹאת עֲשׂוּ--קְחוּ מִזִּמְרַת הָאָרֶץ בִּכְלֵיכֶם וְהוֹרִידוּ לָאִישׁ מִנְחָה מְעַט צֳרִי וּמְעַט דְּבַשׁ נְכֹאת וָלֹט בָּטְנִים וּשְׁקֵדִים
בראשית מג:יא
va-yo-mer a-lay-hem yis-ra-ayl a-vee-hem im kayn ay-fo zot a-su k'-khu mi-zim-rat ha-a-retz bikh-lay-khem v'-ho-ree-du la-eesh min-kha m'-at tza-ree u-m'-at d'-vash n'-khot va-lot bo-t'-neem u-sh'-kay-deem |

Jacob commands his sons to bring an offering to Pharoah's viceroy, some choice fruits of the land. A 'minkha', present, says R' Samson Raphael Hirsch, indicates a gift that benefits the giver more than the receiver. Obviously, this gift benefits the sons of Jacob in that it can cause the viceroy to view them favorably. However, the gift carries the added benefit of reminding the sons of their homeland and its blessings, as they again journey down to Egypt. Give yourself a delicious gift from the Land of Milk & Honey!

Rabbi Tuly, My wife and I are South African Christians, and we pray for the well-being of the Land of Israel every day. Please remember that you and your countrymen are the apple of God’s eye, He holds you in the hollow of his hand, He watches over you day and night, and our Lord will not allow anybody to touch His people in his beloved country of Israel. God will bless and keep you and make His face shine upon you!! SHALOM, Kind regards, LOUIS VAN DER LINDE
