Description: BIRCAT HACHAMMAH VG CONDITION ARTSCOLL PRESS A NEW TRANSLATION WITH A COMMENTARY ANTHOLOGIZED FROM TALMUDIC, MIDRASHIC AND RABBINIC SOURCES. WITH MUCH NEEDED LAWS AND INFORMATION! Birkat ha-Hammah ( also: ha-Chamah, Hahammah, Hachammah), is Hebrew for "The Blessing of the Sun." It is a special Jewish prayer recited once every twenty-eight years, the period of the solar cycle. Jewish law stipulates that the prayer be said every 10,227 (28 times 365.25) days. The next date set is April 8 2009 (Hebrew year 5769). According to the Babylonian Talmud (tractate Berachot 59b), at these times the Sun returns to the position that it had when the Universe was first created. The explanation is that if the year would be exactly 365.25 days, the Sun's equinox times would be at the same time in the week every 28 years (28 times 0.25 days equals 7 days). The tradition is that the Sun was created in its Spring equinox position, at the first hour of the night before the fourth day of Creation. Whenever the equinox is thought to occur at that same time of the week, the Sun is said to have returned to its original position. No set service existed until the Shulkhan Arukh; since then various similar religious services have been offered by Rabbi Moses Sofer and the Mishnah Berurah. The service generally includes: Quotations about the sun from the Tanakh Four verses from the Tanakh which spell out the Tetragrammaton Some of Talmud Berachot 59b Parts of Psalms 148 and 90 The Blessing of the Sun (Barukh Atah...maaseh vereishit) Psalms 121, 8 and 19 The hymm El Adon al kol hama'asim (normally part of the Shabbat services).
