בירכת החמה Birkat HaChama

This morning, David and I watched the sunrise together from our upper balcony. On this day, the day before Pesach, only once every 28 years, there is a special blessing that is recited, honoring G-d as the Creator of the universe. So, we said it together as the bright globe of the sun came up over the Golan. Here are the words:

ברוך אתה, יי אלוהינו, מלך העולם, עושה מעשה בראשית.
Baruch Ata, Adonai eloheinu, melech ha-olam, osei ma'asei breishit.
Blessed are You, Adonai our G-d, ruler of the universe, doer of the works of creation.
