Maker of the works of creation |

The following blessing is traditionally recited whenever you want to praise the LORD for the works of His creation (for example upon seeing lightning, a shooting star, or a comet, or when first seeing a mountain, a river, an ocean or other natural wonder): |

Barukh attah Adonai eloheinu melekh ha-olam, |

Note: Jewish Halakhah regarding this sort of blessing verges on the ludicrous. For instance, Rabbinic tradition says that a person should recite this blessing for a shooting star only once in a particular night, even if he sees other shooting stars later that night. And should a person recite this blessing upon seeing a comet, he should not recite it again for at least thirty days, even if he sees another comet! |
