Rabbi Shabtai Levi Explains When to Recite Shehecheyanu Blessing on Rosh Hashanah

Rabbi Shabtai Levi, head of the Halachic court 'Halichot Moshe' and chief rabbi of Ramat Aharon in Bnei Brak, addresses the question of whether the Shehecheyanu blessing should be recited during the Kiddush on both days of Rosh Hashanah. This topic is discussed in a daily halachic column published by the Haredi news site 'Bachadrei Haredim.' The issue arises particularly when one does not have new fruit to justify saying the blessing again on the second day. Rabbi Levi provides guidance on the proper practice for this important Jewish holiday. The article was published on August 27, 2026, corresponding to the 14th of Elul, 5786, and includes photographs of Rabbi Levi courtesy of the photographer.
