The story · English

A new halachic question has arisen regarding whether one should recite the blessing of HaGomel when walking on a breakwater. Rabbi Shabtai Levi, the head of the Badatz 'Halichot Moshe' and chief rabbi of Ramat Aharon in Bnei Brak, discusses this topic in his daily halacha column featured on the Haredi news site 'Bachadrei Haredim'. The article, published on August 26, 2026, explores the circumstances under which the HaGomel blessing, traditionally recited after surviving danger or crossing water, applies to walking on a breakwater. Rabbi Levi's insights contribute to ongoing discussions in Jewish law about modern situations and their religious implications. The site invites readers to follow their updates and join their WhatsApp group for daily halachic guidance.
