This sugya discusses a Bracha
that is unique to Ner Chanukah – the Bracha of She’asah Nissim, which is recited
when one sees the Neiros of Chanukah (Birkas Haro’eh). This special Bracha was instituted to be said
when one merely sees the Neiros of Chanukah -even if he didn’t light them on his
own.
Among the questions addressed:
- ·
Why don’t we recite this Bracha
when seeing other Mitzvos.
- ·
When does one recite the Bracha? What if one sees a lit Menorah before he
lights his own? What if one is traveling
and will be unable to light his own
Menorah? What if his family is
lighting at home for him while he is away?
- ·
What is the essence of this
Bracha? Is seeing the Chanuka
lights an actual part of the Mitzvah that warrants its own Bracha, or is it a
form of Hoda’ah on the general miracle of Chanukah.
- ·
Should one actually refrain
from looking at other Chanukah lights before he lights his own? For example, if one is on his way home to
light, should he be careful to avoid seeing other lit Menorahs?
- · Is there a special Mitzva to gaze at the Neiros?
