This morning (5/6/22), in our "Machshavah Lab" series for women, we went over three insights I recently had into birkas ha'zman (i.e. shehecheyanu). The first is a basic but beautiful pshat from the Kuzari. The second is an insight I had over Pesach into the unique role played by the shehecheyanu we say at the end of kiddush at the seder. The third is an answer given by the Rav to the question: Why don't we say shehecheyanu on sefiras ha'omer?----------מקורות:ברכת שהחיינורמב"ם – משנה תורה: ספר אהבה, הלכות ברכות י:א-ז, יא-טו; יא:טכוזרי ג:יז (trans.
