The ''Shehecheyanu'' blessing ((ヘブライ語:שהחינו), "Who has given us life") is a common Jewish prayer said to celebrate special occasions. It is said to be thankful for new and unusual experiences.〔 The blessing has been recited by Jews for nearly 2000 years. It comes from the Talmud (Berachot 54a, Pesakhim 7b, Sukkah 46a, etc.) ==Recitation== The blessing of ''Shehecheyanu'' is recited in thanks or commemoration of: *Generally, when doing or experiencing something that occurs infrequently from which one derives pleasure or benefit. *The beginning of a holiday, including Passover, Shavuot, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Simhat Torah and Hanukkah, but not holidays commemorating sad events, such as Tisha B'av. *The first performance of certain mitzvot in a year, including sitting in a sukkah, eating matzah at the Passover Seder, reading the megillah, or lighting the candles on Hanukkah *Eating a new fruit for the first time since Rosh Hashanah *:(normally said before the blessing over the fruit, but some customarily say it afterwards)〔(Shehecheyanu ) Chabad.org〕 *:The fruit must be fresh, not dried〔 *Seeing a friend who has not been seen in thirty days *Acquiring a new home, or significant new articles of clothing or utensils, such as a new suit *The birth of a child (but not at the circumcision) *A pidyon haben ceremony *During a ritual immersion in a mikveh as part of a conversion Some have the custom of saying it at the ceremony of the Birkat Hachama, which is recited once every 28 years in the month of Nissan/Adar II. When several reasons apply (such as the beginning of Passover, together with the mitzvot of matzah, marror, etc.), the blessing is only said once. It is not recited at a circumcision, since that involves pain, nor at the Counting of the Omer, since that is a task which does not give pleasure (and causes sadness at the thought that the actual omer ceremony cannot be performed because of the destruction of the Temple).〔Nulman, Macy, ''Encyclopedia of Jewish Prayer'' (1993, NJ, Jason Aronson) page 91; Scherman, Nosson, ''The Expanded ArtScroll Siddur'' (Ashkenaz)(2010, Brooklyn, Mesorah Publ'ns) page 231.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shehecheyanu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
