Passage 8. Everyone, even a guest or someone who does not have parents, says אֶת אָבִי מוֹרִי בַּעַל הַבַּיִת הַזֶּה וְאֶת אִמִּי מוֹרָתִי בַּעֲלַת הַבַּיִת הַזֶּה. true heading SHEHECHEYANU Passage 1. One who eats a new fruit, i.e., a fruit which is unavailable all year round and grows only once in a specific season, recites שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ. true Passage 2. The blessing is recited before reciting the standard blessing over the fruit, i.e., בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הָעֵץ or בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הָאֲדָמָה. true Passage 3. One recites the שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ over each type of new fruit, even if they are of the same "family." true Passage 4. If one has a number of new fruits and wishes to eat them together or one after another, one recites the שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ once, prior to partaking of the first of them. In this case, the שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ should be recited specifically over a fruit of the "seven species" with which the Land of Israel is blessed. (They are—besides wheat and barley—olive, date, grape, fig, and pomegranate.) If none of these are present, a tree-grown fruit takes precedence over a fruit which grows in or from the ground. true heading AFFIXING A MEZUZAH Passage 1. Before being affixed, the mezuzah is placed in a cover or case made of glass, wood, or any other material. Paper may also be used, but care should be taken that the paper in which the mezuzah is wrapped should be longer than the mezuzah itself, so that the nails should not pierce the mezuzah scroll when it is affixed to the doorpost. Care should also be taken not to put the scroll of the mezuzah in the case upside down. true Passage 2. The mezuzah is affixed on the outer tefach (the width of 4 fingers, i.e., 3.1496 inches) of the width of the doorpost, at the right hand as you enter, at the bottom of the upper third of its height, at a distance of at least one tefach from the lintel. (If the door is extraordinarily high it should be affixed at the level of one's shoulder.) The mezuzah is affixed in an inclined position, the upper part pointing inwards. true Passage 3. The mezuzah is usually affixed using nails or tacks, but mortar, adhesive tape, etc., may also be used. true Passage 4. Before affixing the mezuzah, recite the blessing לִקְבּוֹעַ מְזוּזָה. true Passage 5. It is customary to put the right hand on the mezuzah and kiss it upon both entering and leaving the house, and also during the prayer before retiring to bed. true heading ON LIGHTNING, THUNDER, ETC. Passage 1. One who sees any of the following: shooting stars, an earthquake, lightning, a hurricane, or a tornado, recites the blessing עֹשֶׂה מַעֲשֵׂה בְּרֵאשִׁית. true Passage 2. On hearing thunder, one says שֶׁכֹּחוֹ וּגְבוּרָתוֹ מָלֵא עוֹלָם. true Passage 3. If the clouds disperse after one recited the blessings, and then gather and once again there is thunder and lightning, one is required to recite the blessings a second time. true Passage 4. If more than three seconds pass between the lightning or thunder and the recitation of the blessing, one recites בָּרוּךְ עֹשֶׂה מַעֲשֵׂה בְּרֵאשִׁית or בָּרוּךְ שֶׁכֹּחוֹ וּגְבוּרָתוֹ מָלֵא עוֹלָם, omitting the Divine Name. true heading ON SEEING A RAINBOW Passage 1. When one sees a rainbow in the heaven one recites the blessing זוֹכֵר הַבְּרִית...בְּמַאֲמָרוֹ. true Passage 2. One should not gaze at this rainbow for an extended time. true heading ON HEARING GOOD TIDINGS Passage 1. One who hears good tidings concerning either the public or an individual, e.g., concerning one's father, teacher, or close friend, recites the blessing הַטּוֹב וְהַמֵּטִיב. true
