#bracha — Public Fediverse posts

Who all is up late to see the #eclipse? I decided that, given our lunar calendar, that staying up late to see a lunar eclipse is a very Jewish thing to do.

But that raises the question --- what is the #Bracha (blessing) for seeing an eclipse?

And at what point in the eclipse should one recite the blessing?

And as always I must ask --- is there a non-theistic version of said bracha?

Ja, lieber @Friedensbote - das islamische Wort für #Segen heißt #Baraka (türkisch #Bereket) & ist direkt mit dem jüdischen #Bracha verwandt. Auch der segnende #Jesus, hebräisch #Jehoschua wird als al-Masih #Isa im #Koran geehrt, seiner Mutter #Maryam ist sogar eine eigene #Sure gewidmet.

"Who Makes People Different: #Jewish Perspectives on the Disabled"

The very title of the book has been viewed by some as a negative assessment of those with disabilities. However, the wording, taken from the #bracha recited upon seeing someone with a disability is meant to instill understanding and appreciation of all Jews, whether or not one has #disabilities. Every human is made in God's image
