Blessing of the Sun, Renewal of Creation: A halachic analysis and anthology with a new translation and commentary

Every twenty-eight years, for a few hours on a Wednesday morning in April, throngs of Jews fill streets, sidewalks, rooftops, and parks for one of the most infrequent rituals in Judaism. It marks the return of the sun to the exact place it occupied on the fourth day of Creation on the same day and at the same hour that the sun began to shine in the primordial heavens.

The Bircas haChammah ritual bears testimony to our faith that there is a Creator -- a constant Creator Who preserves and renews His universe -- and that there is a scheme and purpose to His creation.
