[Avodah] The Dynamic of Post-Talmudic Brachos

[Zev Sero]

If you're collecting post-talmudic brochos, here's another one:
R Akiva Eiger, who was surely aware of the rule against post-talmudic
brochos, holds that if one moves into a house that already has mezuzos,
and so one can't say "likboa mezuzah", then one says "lodur bevayis
sheyesh bo mezuzah".  That bracha is surely not mentioned in the gemara.
Now I've never heard of anyone actually following this psak of RAE, but
that is how he paskens, despite the rule.
