<div>On Tue, February 6, 2007 7:15 am, R Michael Kopinsky asked about my comment:<br>:> (Granikim don't say it because the only "Hu" one can give a berakhah to is<br>:> "Shemo". Once one distinguishes between the two, "Hu" refers to the Ein Sof,
<br>:> for Whom the concept of berakhah is meaningless.)<br><br>:> What is your mekor for this?<br><br>:>RHSchachter's discussion of RYBS's position (it is usually said, except for<br>:>hefseiq when trying to be yotzei their berakhah). Perhaps one of the chevrah
<br>:>who own RHS's sefarim can let us know if it appears in print.</div>

<div>in nefesh harav (page 127) he says that it was the minhag of the gra not to say it and cites maaseh rav (siman 43 - but I don't have a copy to look it up). he said that the rav explained (based on nefesh hachaim) that we can you praise Hashem on his midos but not on "atzmuso" because as it says in tikunei zohar "d'leis machshava t'fisa bei".
