Chapter 7 – Morning Benedictions
7.1) Saying “amen” to the benediction “to engage in the study of the Torah” is a debatable topic. (See source for details, or consult a rabbi.)
7.2) Do not say the morning benediction, “He that gives the cock understanding,” until daylight.
7.3) A blind person may say the benediction, “He that opens the eyes of the blind,” since he is helped by others.
7.4) After the benediction, “He that removes sleep from my eyes and slumber from my eyelids,” do not respond “amen”; instead, respond with “and may it be Thy will.”
7.5) If you are awake all night, you must say all the morning benedictions except, “for the washing of the hands.” It is doubtful whether you have to say any other benedictions except for this one, but you may choose to be zealous, and respond “amen” to others.
7.6) If you do not say all benedictions before prayers, you may say the benedictions after prayers, except “for the washing of the hands” (see 7.5 above).
7.7 ) See source or consult a rabbi for special considerations related to morning benedictions when reading the Torah.
