#5170 Justifying Justice
If someone a few times a year walk to a shul on Shabbos that is close to a Jewish cemetery and as he comes close he can see clearly the burial places and the Matzeivos (stones) on them, does he recite the customary brocho of “Yotzar Eschem Badin” (He created you with justice) usually said during the week?
It seems improper to recite it on Shabbos, since we do not say in Shabbos Tziduk Hadin.
Mahari Assad (Y.D. 371: 1) quoted by Piskei Teshuva (O.H. 224) maintains that we do
say it since it does not actually express “Tziduk” Hadin, or giving justice to the judgment.
