BRACHOS SIGHT-SEEING 2

So we spoke about making brachas on miracles that took place for all of Kleissel, and all of Kleissel are required to make that bracha if they come to that place, and so long as that place actually has some kind of physical marker designating and making that place knowledgeable to people, that a miracle occurred over there.

What happens if it didn't happen to all of Kleissel? It happened to a minority of Kleissel, not the majority, and not to all.

The luck is that only the descendants of those people that it happened to would have to make the bracha there.

However, if you're dealing with somebody that a miracle occurred to them and it was a kiddush Hashem in that tremendous miracle.

Number one, let's say it was a leader, a very well-known person, a great person, these people who had miracles that occurred to them was something that was noticeable to everyone and it was a huge, tremendous kiddush Hashem.

Those people, all of Gleisel, would be required to make the brachon if they saw this place where the miracle occurred.

It's actually an interesting halacha, if somebody sees ishto shel light, even though I don't think nowadays we have a specific designated marker for it, no matter what the Torah guys will say, if somebody would see the pillar of salt of ishto shel light, they would actually make two brachas.

One would be a baruch dayanemes, for the punishment, for the judgment that was enacted upon her, and a second bracha, she'asel neis, for light being saved, because he was considered a tzaddik, because of Avraham Avinu, his tziddik, that saved light.

So he would actually make two brachas marking that location.

But pretty much anybody else that's not a direct descendant of the person that benefited, or it's not a public famous person that had a tremendous kiddush Hashem, Through that miracle, it'll only work if you yourself experience the miracle.

And that includes, I should say excludes, not your spouse.

If someone's wife or someone's husband, someone's child, a miracle occurred to them, only the person itself will experience the miracle.

And we'll talk about this, their descendants may be able to make a bracha as well.

So a son and a grandson, or a daughter and a granddaughter, two generations down...

They would also, if they come across the place where a miracle occurred to their parent or grandparent, they would make a bracha, whatever appropriate word would apply.

And that mitzvah to make the bracha upon your parent or grandparent would apply whether you were born before the miracle occurred.

So even though you weren't directly affected by the miracle, your birth didn't come a bathroom, the person was saved after you were already born, or even if you, and of course if you were born before the miracle occurred, so their safety and their life ended up bringing you into this world.

Both situations, you would make a bracha.

However, if you go three generations down, then the halacha only applies if your parent-grandparent was born after, after the miracle occurred.

So you're life dependent on the miracle of your great, great, great, great, great, great, great parent.

So you're life dependent on it because the child after that was born, after their life was saved, then you make the bracha.

But if your great, great, great, great, great parent was born before the miracle occurred, you wouldn't make the bracha.

That would only apply to parents and grandchildren.
