#708 Blessing Rites on the Northern Lights
Question
What bracha if any, do you make when watching the Aurora Borealis?
Answer
Although the Northern Lights is a display of one of the most striking and magnificent phenomena in nature, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit"a opinion is that since this event is not recorded in the Talmud or Poskim directly, one should recite Ose Maase Bereshis without the name of Hashem.
