Question
If I do not intend to leave my home on a given day, do I still say the the B'rakha 'HaMekhin Miss'adhe Ghaver' in the morning? Answer
One should nevertheless recite the b'rakha in the morning. In the Talmud (B'rakhoth 60b) it simply states "When one starts to go (or walk) one says...". Rambam z'l very correctly interprets this to mean when one starts to go about one's daily business (as opposed to when one takes the first step upon waking), such as when one leaves one's house.
It follows that normally you would recite this b'rakha when leaving your home for the first time on that day, assuming this happens in the morning. If however one does not intend to leave one's house that day (such as someone who works from home, or someone who is ill), or intends to leave the house much later during the day, one should recite the b'rakha in the morning. On such a day, one "goes about one's business" at home. The b'rakha is to remind us of Hashem's hashgaha as we go about our business throughout the day and our lives; this applies at home as much as anywhere else. |
