<p>In Avodah Digest V23#199, R'Micha responded:<br>
> To narrow the search, wouldn't the mitzvah have to be both an asei, and the qiyum bequm va'asei in order to warrant a berakah? Regardless of where we go with shemittas kesafim at the end of the year, what ma'aseh is necessary for it? <<br>
Would that first Q's logic apply to, say, wearing a new suit for the first time? And couldn't a response to the 2nd Q be that what one is bidden to do re certain monetary situations that one happens to be a part of is similar to, say, what one is bidden to do when in a 4-cornered-garment situation?<br>
<br>
BTW, mei'inyan l'inyan: do you know why "shehecheyanu" isn't made by a b'ris (which surely is a "qiyum bequm va'asei")? The "Sharashei Minhag Ashk'naz" Vol1 piece on this topic is worthwhile (and speaking of "Sharashei Minhag Ashk'naz," see my next post)....<br>
<br>
G'mar tov and all the best from<br>
