SUN RISE - 8th of APRIL, 2009!
Upon seeing the Sun Rising, where ever you may be in the world...one recites this blessing:
"Blessed are You, Lord our G-d, King of the universe,
who re-enacts the works of creation.”
(The blessing is traditionally preceded and followed by a short selection of Psalms and Prayer)
