Question
If I am in India for several months, during which I go on many hikes in the wilderness, some longer, some shorter. When do I make the gomel bracha?
Ami
Answer
Shalom Ami,
The Mishna Brura (219, 1) writes that travelers bench gomel only upon their final return at the end of their journey and not every time they come to civilization. May you return soon in health in body and soul, to the Holy Land.
With Love of Israel,
Rav Ari Shvat
