Blessing or Prayer, The Shehecheyanu – שהחינו
This prayer is known as the Shehecheyanu. It has a special place in my life as it is the prayer I wanted to say when I first stepped foot in Israel. However, I had a difficult time remembering it. Our second day in Jerusalem, by the Temple Institute, a man on the stairs stopped me and asked if he could say a prayer over me. This was the prayer. Then, he taught it to me.
