| May 2, 2016 at 15:37 | comment | added | DanF | @msh210 Why a Bar Mitzvah boy may have been saying a bracha levatala. If it's one mitzvah that requires continuity from the 1st day, at the start of the counting, the boy was not obligated in mitzvoth. So, why is he saying a bracha in the first place? Same concept would apply to one who knows that he can't complete it. Perhaps he's making a bracha on a mitzvah that he knows he can't perform. | |

| May 2, 2016 at 13:58 | comment | added | msh210♦ | Re "Is each day counted considered its own separate mitzvah, or does one fulfill the mitzvah once only when he completes the full count of 49 days?... If it is one mitzvah, and he has been saying the bracha each day, if there is no completion, wouldn't all the brachot said... be considered bracha levatala - a bracha in vain?": Maybe, but maybe it's one mitzva but the blessing is on each act that makes up the mitzva. For example, if someone says the blessing al biur chametz before searching for chametz and dies before burning it, is the blessing in vain? Maybe it is, I don't know. | |
