How To: Thunder & ⚡Lightning Blessings

Blessings on Natural Wonders - When a Jew sees Lightning or hears thunder, we recite a blessing. You must begin reciting the blessing immediately (within 1-2 seconds) upon hearing the thunder or seeing the lightning. If you weren’t able to start the blessing that soon, you should wait until you hear it or see it again. -------- As long as the clouds have not dispersed you need not say another blessing for lightning even if you see it many time, and same goes with thunder. This blessings are basically only said once per storm. ------- In the event that you experienced the two phenomena one after another, you say two blessings, one for the lightning and the other for the thunder. If someone experiences both at the same time, or so close together. Before they even had a chance to start any blessing. (as long as it's still within 1-2 seconds of the experience) So you should only say 1 blessing. The lightning blessing will cover both, in this case. ------------------------------ BLESSING TEXTS ------------------------------- LIGHTNING ברוך אתה ה' אלוקינו מלך העולם עושה מעשה בראשית Baruch Atta Adonay Eloheinu Melech HaOlam Oseh Maaseh Beresheet.
