- Q. Moreinu Shlit”a. I’m planing, with Hashem’s help to be able to return to Toronto soon, and join you again. I much miss your great Friday night meals and Divrei Torah, that I have enjoyed and participated for many years.
I’m sending you another Shailah please.
In a house nearby were I’m staying with my family, an Iranian bomb missile fell last week and destroyed most of the house. Thanks to Hashem the family and children were not hurt, as they were in a protective Miklat at the time.
Yet I and others, are constantly witnessing another incredible miracle. Although the house was almost destroyed completely and all windows were gone, the two bookcases that contained many Holy Sefarim, not only were totally undamaged, more miraculously, even the thin glass doors of those bookcases, completely survived, without even a scratch. It is a true real miracle we can all see with our stupefied eyes.
Our Shailah is, do we have to recite a special Bracha for this incredible miracle?
A. Horav Aharon Miller Shlit”a recommends to recite the blessing of “Sheasa Lanu Nes Bamakom Haze – Blessed be the One who made for us a miracle on this location.”
Yet it should be recited without pronouncing Hashems explicit name, that is only mentioned in the specific occasions and locations mentioned in Halacha.
