Question
What are the Brachot we need to say when we meet Moshiach? Are these blessings we need to memorize? When exactly will we say them? When Mashiah is revealed, does someone then immediately say the blessings and if so, which, or do they wait until they see him in person?
thank you
Answer
There is no need to learn them by heart. Here again are the brachot.
1: ברוך אתה ה` א-להינו מלך העולם גואל ישראל
2: ברוך אתה ה` א-ל-הינו מלך העולם שהחינו וקימנו והגענו לזמן הזה
3: ברוך אתה ה` א-להינו מלך העולם שחלק מחכמתו ליראיו
4: ברוך אתה ה` א-להינו מלך העולם שחלק מכבודו ליראיו
5: ברוך אתה ה` א-להינו מלך העולם חכם הרזים
6: ברוך אתה ה' ... מלך העולם הטוב והמטיב
Brachot numbers 1, 2 and 6 should be recited immediately upon hearing the news definitively from a totally reliable source. But brachot numbers 3-5 are generally recited only upon seeing him.
