I just read through this thread.
I'm not a posek, so I'm not going to take a stand on the shita of whether or not the situation qualified for the brochah.
What I do know is, that if R' Boruch Mordechia made the brochah, I would've also made it.
What I also know is, that I agree with rots5.
Miles lover is a bored bochur sitting in his dirah bashing rabbonim. That is unacceptable.
Rots5, you should be commended for sticking up for whats right.
yare, you came out of no where and told rots to calm down. please go back to no where and come back only after reading through the thread.
Hopefully this atzeres at least had an impact on the Israeli government.
