Order of The Service
The service generally includes:
- Psalms 148:1-6
- The blessing: "Baruch Atah A-donai E-loheinu Melech Ha`olam Oseh Ma`aseh Breishit."
- Those who say the Shehecheyanu blessing, do so here.
- Psalm 19
- Psalm 121
- Psalm 150
- A passage from the Talmud regarding the obligation of Birkat Hachama.
- Psalm 67
- Aleinu
- The mourner's Kaddish.
The Shehecheyanu blessing is not recited, because Birkat Hachama because it is not a requirement; blessings that are recited in this sort of opportunistic fashion, such as the annual blessing on fruit trees, thus have receive no Shehecheyanu. Those who do recite it, should take care to wear a new garment or have a new fruit close by, to remove all doubt.
