<div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><p>Translating “(b)’s circle may not be within (c)’s circle” I get: It is possible that bot all events for which one makes an annu’al se’udah one must bentch gomel. Is it really a possibility?</p>
<p>This blog entry was about something else — the fact that a qorban Torah and gomeil are obligatory not only because of the life-saving impact of the miracle, but also if the nature of the miracle echoes that of the Exodus. And from that, I tried to draw conclusions about the nature of their mitzvos. Because of this second possibility — a common natural event that mimics the Exodus (eg crossing the Atlantic by airplane) — there are many occasions for gomel which do not qualify for location or annual recognition. It’s simply about kind, not extraordinarity or size of impact.</p>

<div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><p>Between the situations of (a) miracle for which one makes a place-based b’rachah; (b) event for which one makes an annual s’udas hoda’ah; and (c) event for which one bentches “Gomeil,” are we talking (in Vennian terms) about concentric circles or only intersecting circles? My first thoughts:<br />
– (a)’s circle is within (b)’s circle (and I’ve heard that the Chayei Adam thus recorded) but (b)’s circle may not be within (c)’s circle; however, re (a),<br />
– one notes all miracles when in the place of one miracle (OC 218:5), but does one note all events when making a s’udas hoda’ah; and, perhaps more significantly, one’s descendants make a b’rachah even though the event didn’t occur to them (OC 218:4), but do they make an annual s’udas hoda’ah? (If he/they doesn’t/don’t, perhaps he/they should!)</p>

<div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><p>Steg,</p>
<p>I don’t think anyone says on a halachic level that one must wear the tzitzis out, either to fulfill the mitzvah, or the minhag of tallis qatan (according to the Mordechai et al who say tallis qatan is an undergarment that doesn’t require tzitzis), or to be allowed to wear the garment.</p>
<p>Rather, it’s a modern minhag or perhaps only hanhagah (I never thought about the formal definition of the line between them) based on wanting to fulfill what would seem to be the point of the verse. All agree that halakhah is about the derashah of ur’isem oso — that we’re talking about daytime, and not peshat — that one must be able to see them.</p>
<p>That would take it away from the realm of modern medrash halakhah. </p>
<p>BTW, in my experience it works for a slightly different reason. Sometimes their catching my eye guilt me into towing the line, but that’s rare. More often I catch myself because I realize <b>others</b> see it, and will judge more than just me by my actions.</p>
<p>Side note as one pendant to another: I spell the word “halachic” since the word only exists in Yinglish, and “ch” is standard Yinglish spelling. Yinglish uses the Latin alphabet, and the words aren’t transliterated. Whereas I prefer to transliterate the letter khaf in words that are transliterated as “kh”. And so, I would write that the word “halachic” means “being about halakhah”.</p>
