Berachot on hearing news, Part IV

Hi,

One only recites the relevant blessing (see previous emails) for good or bad news if one personally witnesses the event, or one hears the news from a credible, direct witness of the event.

(Mishneh Berurah 222:1)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

Berachot on hearing news, Part II

Hi,

One who hears news which is good for himself and for others, and who feels joy as a result, recites a berachah of "Baruch haTov v'haMeitiv," thanking Gd who is good, and who provides good.

(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 222:1; Mishneh Berurah 222:3)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
