Today the NASA spaceship New Horizons will fly past Pluto and snap the closest images ever taken of that heavenly body. I thought some of you might like to learn the appropriate blessing for seeing natural wonders.
Baruch atah Adonai, Elohaynu Melech ha’Olam, she’ka’kha lo b’olamo.
Blessed are You, Eternal our God, Ruler of Time-and-Space, who has such creations in Your world.

Isn’t Hashem’s Universe a creation of Beauty?!
So beautiful! I am looking forward to seeing the images as they come in.
Baruch atah Adonai …
Thanks so much, Rabbi Ruth!

My favorite way God communicates (other than His word) is nature. Thanks for sharing this!
