Passage 8. Every person, a guest included or one without parents, recites אֶת אָבִי מוֹרִי בַּעַל הַבַּיִת הַזֶּה וְאֶת אִמִּי מוֹרָתִי בַּעֲלַת הַבַּיִת הַזֶּה. true heading SHEHECHEYANU Passage 1. Whoever consumes fruit that is new, i.e., produce remaining unobtainable throughout the year and growing solely once in a given season, recites שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ. true Passage 2. This benediction is said prior to the ordinary blessing for the fruit, i.e., בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הָעֵץ or בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הָאֲדָמָה. true Passage 3. The שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ is recited over every kind of new fruit, even when they belong to the same "family." true Passage 4. When several new fruits are at hand and one desires to consume them jointly or successively, the שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ is recited once, before tasting the first among them. In that event, let the שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ be uttered over a fruit from those "seven species" that constitute the Land of Israel's blessing. (These comprise—apart from wheat and barley—olive, date, grape, fig, and pomegranate.) Should none of these be at hand, fruit grown on a tree takes precedence over produce growing in or from the soil. true heading AFFIXING A MEZUZAH Passage 1. Prior to attachment, the mezuzah is set within a cover or case fashioned of glass, wood, or some other substance. Paper may likewise be employed, yet one must take care that the wrapping wherein the mezuzah is enclosed extend farther than the mezuzah itself, lest the nails puncture the mezuzah scroll as it is fastened to the doorpost. One must likewise take care not to insert the mezuzah's scroll into the case inverted. true Passage 2. The mezuzah is fastened upon the outer tefach (the breadth of 4 fingers, i.e., 3.1496 inches) of the doorpost's width, on the right-hand side as you enter, at the lower edge of the uppermost third of its height, no less than one tefach from the lintel. (Should the doorway stand extraordinarily high it should be fastened at the height of one's shoulder.) The mezuzah is set in a slanted position, its upper portion directed inwards. true Passage 3. Customarily the mezuzah is fastened with nails or tacks, yet mortar, adhesive tape, etc., are also acceptable. true Passage 4. Before fastening the mezuzah, utter the blessing לִקְבּוֹעַ מְזוּזָה. true Passage 5. Customarily one places the right hand upon the mezuzah and kisses it both when entering and when leaving the house, and likewise during the recitation said before retiring to bed. true heading UPON LIGHTNING, THUNDER, ETC. Passage 1. Whoever beholds any among these: shooting stars, an earthquake, lightning, a hurricane, or a tornado, recites the blessing עֹשֶׂה מַעֲשֵׂה בְּרֵאשִׁית. true Passage 2. Upon hearing thunder, one recites שֶׁכֹּחוֹ וּגְבוּרָתוֹ מָלֵא עוֹלָם. true Passage 3. Should the clouds scatter after one has recited the blessings, and thereafter assemble so that thunder and lightning occur once more, a second recitation of the blessings is required. true Passage 4. When over three seconds elapse from the lightning or thunder until the blessing is spoken, one recites בָּרוּךְ עֹשֶׂה מַעֲשֵׂה בְּרֵאשִׁית or בָּרוּךְ שֶׁכֹּחוֹ וּגְבוּרָתוֹ מָלֵא עוֹלָם, omitting the Divine Name. true heading UPON BEHOLDING A RAINBOW Passage 1. Upon beholding a rainbow in the heaven, the blessing זוֹכֵר הַבְּרִית...בְּמַאֲמָרוֹ is recited. true Passage 2. One ought not stare at this rainbow for a prolonged period. true heading UPON HEARING GLAD TIDINGS Passage 1. Whoever hears glad tidings regarding either the community or a private person, e.g., news concerning one's father, teacher, or intimate friend, recites the blessing הַטּוֹב וְהַמֵּטִיב. true
