Birkat HaChama in Lubavitch (1981)
With Rabbi Eliezer Yehudah Finkel from the MIR Yeshiva
With the Edah HaCharedit
Every 28 years, the "Birkat HaChama - Blessing of the Sun" is said. This year, the event will be officially celebrated at the Kotel (Western Wall) in Jerusalem and thousands of people are being expected.
The blessing reminds us of how great G - d's creation is, and symbolically speaking tells us about the sun's position at the moment of the creation of the world. According to astronomy, this is not the real moment of the sun's former position, however, our Sages chose the cyle of every 28 years years in order to let our mind grasp the concept at all.
