Birkat haGomel for multi-leg trips

Hi,

One only recites Birkat haGomel once for a single journey.

Therefore, for example, one who is traveling to Israel, with a stop-over of a day or even a few days in Europe, would only recite Birkat haGomel upon arrival. [This example assumes one recites Birkat haGomel for intercontinental flights, of course.]

(Mishneh Berurah 219:1 and Shaar haTziyyun thereon)

May we soon see the rebuilding of the Beit haMikdash,
Mordechai
