How To Say Birkoth haShahar
Question
Should I say birkoth hashahar which appear at the beginning of the siddur consecutively in shul at the beginning of davening or at home?
Answer
Birkoth hashahar should be said as one performs the relevant action. For example, after one opens one’s eyes upon awakening one says ברוך פוקח עורים. When one gets dressed one says מלביש ערומים.
Hazal provide us with an instruction manual for getting up and going in the morning. If we follow the directions in that manual as intended, getting up, getting dressed, etc., and reciting the b’rakhoth will be much more meaningful.
