Shehecheyanu?

Gomel?

Hatov vehameitiv?


Not Hagomel necessarily.
And shechalak mikvodo on Melech hamashiach and chalak mikvodo on this generations gedolim.
We don't need techias hameisim to make the Brachos.

Okay here are two questions, one easy and one hard (I think)
1. Which man lived the longest and how long did he live?
2. Which person died at an age that the first, second and third digit of his age was the same number?

1. Mesushelach, 979 (I think)

Can you clarify where this is from? I just asked my husband and he said he never heard of this.

I am thinking of a name that is shared by a murderer, a kohen Gadol and a son of a tzaddik (though he was a rasha). What's that name and who are these people?

Yup!!
It always bothered me that Elisha would name his son Yishmael, the name of a rasha. Never understood it.

We do this as well, sometimes my husband asks me to say tefillas haderech with the kids because he had already said it during davening.
