[Avodah] Birkat haChamah Liturgy

[Jonathan Baker]

If anyone is interested, I've written a longish piece on the history of
the nusach for Birkat haChamah.  It's mostly pretty recent - 1785 and
later, but there's a fair bit of evidence that there were other rituals
used earlier, that may have been designed for one-time use, or were 
otherwise lost during the ensuing 28-year breaks.
