Podcasts about Bina

In this powerful episode of Anomalous Black Women, Bina and Dr. TJ sit down with Chanel B. Brooks, founder of the Soft Life Movement and author of If You Need to Slow the Hell Down was a Person. Together, they unpack the emotional weight Black women have been conditioned to carry and the hidden cost of always being “the strong one.”From survival mode and burnout to boundaries, rest, femininity, guilt, and self-worth, this conversation goes far beyond social media's version of the “soft life.” Chanel opens up about divorce, single motherhood, workplace pressure, and the personal awakening that inspired her D.A.M.N. Method, a framework centered on digesting emotions, accepting truth, moving intentionally, and taking note of your healing journey.This episode is for every Black woman who's exhausted from carrying everything, proving herself, and pouring into everyone else first. If you've ever struggled to rest without guilt, say no without explaining yourself, or choose yourself unapologetically… this conversation is for you. Connect with Chanel B.

Why do we hide what we truly feel? Why does being “strong” often mean staying silent?In this Q&A based podcast , we explore the quiet emotions we keep suppressing — the feelings we minimise, delay, or never express at all. Through simple yet deeply relatable reflections, this episode gently reminds us that healing doesn't always begin with answers… sometimes, it begins with honesty.Because the moment we start being truthful with ourselves, the heart slowly begins to feel lighter.Alshukran BandhuAlshukran Zindagi Performing Live in your City… Click to book tickets: https://linktr.ee/AshishvidyarthiWhere would you want me to perform next?“Kahanibaaz Ashish Vidyarthi” Stories that heal Subscribe and be a part of My YouTube Family Ashish Vidyarthi Podcast -    / @ashishvidyarthipodcast   Ashish Vidyarthi Actor Vlogs -    / ashishvidyarthiactorvlogs   Food Khaana With Ashish Vidyarthi -    / foodkhaanawithashishvidyarthi   Anbudan Ashish Vidyarthi -    / anbudanashishvidyarthi   KAHAANI KHATARNAAK GOI WITH ASHISH VIDYARTHI -    / kahaanikhatarnaakgoibyashishvidyarthi   Press the bell icon to be the first one to get notified each time I upload a new video.

Bina Štampe Žmavc: Strmoglavljenje sanj, Nataša Konc Lorenzutti: Vse je postalo plamen, Brane Senegačnik: Lirični prostor. Recenzije so napisali Andrej Lutman, Tonja Jelen in Meta Kušar.

Piše Andrej Lutman, bereta Jure Franko in Eva Longyka Marušič. Pesniška zbirka Bine Štampe Žmavc Strmoglavljenje sanj si zasluži oznako lepotica med knjigami, za kar gre zahvala prefinjenosti oblikovalke Tanje Radež. Izdelek je tržno naravnan, saj mora zadovoljiti kriterije konkurenčnosti na trgu pesniških zbirk, ki izhajajo brez podpore raznih javnih skladov. Knjižno napotilo je prispeval Matej Krajnc, njegovo vsebino pa nakazuje naslov: Ko bi šel in nimaš kam iti, pojdi k sebi. A takšno usmeritev zavračajo verzi s platnice: »Ko pride knjiga, / malo polistaš, / samo malo.« Nasprotje interesov je idealno za vznik zanimanja za knjigo. Povzetek teh nasprotij označuje ugotovitev, da je pot k sebi speljana prek knjige, skozi njo in ob njej. Da pa bo takšnih nasprotij še več, je povsem uporaben konec pesmi z naslovom Zarisana pot: »Toda vedel si – / pot / ni bila tvoja.« Zbirko Strmoglavljenje sanj je skorajda nujno imeti pri sebi. Bina Štampe Žmavc s svojim pesnjenjem nadaljuje žlahtno tradicijo kontrapunktično zasnovanega razmišljanja, čustvovanja in dojemanja, saj naj bi strmoglavljenje pomenilo, da so sanje zgoraj. Uvodna pesem, ki daje naslov celotni knjigi, delno pojasnjuje, kaj strmoglavljenje sanj pomeni: »Kot v najjasnejši budnosti, / se je nenadoma zavedela, / da zlato jabolko / nikoli ne bo prišlo v njene roke.« Pesniti o sanjah, upesnjevati sanje, sanjati o pesnjenju so dejavnosti, ki jih je posebej zaznamovalo gibanje, znano pod imenom nadrealizem, ki predpostavlja, da je nekaj nad tako imenovanim realnim. Tudi oznaka nova stvarnost lahko vsaj delno osvetli pesnjenje Bine Štampe Žmavc. In še nekaj je treba poudariti: ženstvenost dojemkov takšne stvarnosti. Ob tem je nujno omeniti tudi pesnico Nežo Zajc, ki s svojim pesnjenjem še koreniteje posega v domene, ki so vsem, bivajočim pred ali pod tako imenovano stvarnostjo, redkeje dostopne. Še bolj redko je, da bi se o tem pisalo na širšemu bralstvu pristopen način, in prav v tem je srž pesnjenja Bine Štampe Žmavc. Svoje dojemanje polstanj, dremeža, polbudnosti, globinskosti ali plitvine sanjskega sporoča pristopno in s tem omogoča lažji pogled v tavajočnost, kamor pač zmore seči pesniška duša.

In this episode, we explore Once in the Countryside: A Collection of Plays by Pulitzer Prize finalist Lloyd Suh, a sweeping anthology that brings over 150 years of Asian and Asian American history to life onstage. Through plays like The Chinese Lady, The Far Country, Bina's Six Apples, and The Heart Sellers, Suh blends intimacy, humor, and epic storytelling to illuminate voices and histories too often left out of the American narrative. Joined by editor Christine Mok and special guests including performer Shannon Tyo and Daniel K. Isaac, the conversation dives into the process of shaping this landmark collection, the power of historical storytelling, and how these plays resonate urgently in the present.

Copyright/Shashi Kant SingCurated by Irfan"ये मेरी नई और भोजपुरी कंपोजिशन है, पिया परदेसी बिना...मैं क्षेत्रीय बोली के गीतों जैसे अवधी, भोजपुरी आदि पर एक प्रयोग कर रहा हूं। बड़े लंबे समय से मैं देख रहा हूं कि हमारी क्षेत्रीय बोली के गीतों का कंपोजिशन ऐसे किया जा रहा है, जैसे यह जाहिलों और गवारों का ही गीत हो, या सौत के बेटे को किसी ने उबटन और काजल लगाया हो। इसीलिए इन गीतों को दूसरी बोली वाले तो क्या सुनेंगे, खुद इन्हीं बोली के लोग इन्हें नहीं सुनते। आखिर क्या वजह है कि पंजाबी और हरियाणवी समझ में ना आने के बावजूद भोजपुरी क्षेत्र में पंजाबी और हरियाणवी सुनी जाती है? हमारे गीतों में ऐसी क्या बुराई है जो दूसरे क्षेत्रों में तो छोड़ो, हमारे ही क्षेत्र के संपन्न वर्ग में नहीं सुनी जाती, जबकि शास्त्रीय गायन के सभी कंपोजिशन हमारी क्षेत्रीय बोलियों में ही हैं, जैसे, का करूं सजनी आए ना बालम, आयो कहां से घनश्याम, मोहे पनघट पे नंदलाल छेड़ गयो रे, चदरिया झीनी रे झीनी.. ? मैंने गायन शैली में शालीनता भरी है, प्रयुक्त वाद्य यंत्रों और उनके वादन के तरीकों में थोड़ा परिवर्तन किया है, थोड़ा क्लासिकल टच देने की कोशिश की है।"Cover: Irfan

 If you're aiming for a VBAC this pregnancy, this one is for you mama!I had a wonderful conversation with My Essential Birth Mama, Sarah. She shares how she navigated pregnancy, labor, and birth with confidence — even when things didn't go exactly as planned. We discuss everything from preparing her mindset during pregnancy to advocating during labor and embracing the beauty of her baby's arrival. This episode is full of encouragement for any mama preparing for birth...and especially for my VBAC mamas!Here are some highlights from the episode:• How Sarah prepared mentally and physically for birth during pregnancy • The mindset shifts that helped her release fear and build confidence • What early labor felt like and how she knew things were progressing • The tools she used to manage contractions naturally • How preparation helped her advocate for herself in the hospital • What it looked like to pivot peacefully when birth didn't unfold exactly as expected • The emotional moment she met her baby • Her honest postpartum reflections and what she wants every pregnant mom to knowBirth may not always go exactly according to plan — but it can still be powerful, peaceful, and empowering. I hope this story reminds you that your body was designed for this, and with the right preparation, you can walk into your birth feeling strong and ready.

Satsang Ke Bina Koi Sukhi Nahi : Pujya Sant Shri Asharamji Bapu Satsang

Satsang Ke Bina Koi Sukhi Nahi : Pujya Sant Shri Asharamji Bapu Satsang

For this Out Takes, we were excited to introduce you to ‘From All Sides’, a new Australian feature film that is having a special Q&A screening at the Sun Theatre in Yarraville on Friday January 30 that is described as a subversive, sexually frank drama about a seemingly average suburban middle-class, multiracial family that features a strikingly original fusion of steamy bisexual orgies, extramarital hookups, and dazzling classical Indian dance sequences. We wanted to know more about this exciting local queer film so we went straight to the source and spoke to its writer and director Bina Bhattacharya. This wonderful interview covered many important topics including her journey as a filmmaker, her passion for Western Sydney and importance of using it as a backdrop to tell modern Australian stories, the impact of racism on her storytelling and more. We concluded the show by looking at ‘Blue Moon’, the latest from award-winning director Richard Linklater that stars Ethan Hawke, Margaret Qualley, Bobby Cannavale and Andrew Scott and is set in New York City in 1943. It follows the gay and closeted musical genius Lorenz Hart as he reflects on himself on the opening night of Oklahoma!, a new musical by his former colleague Richard Rodgers. We thoroughly enjoyed watching Ethan Hawke in this transformative role which has seen him nominated for a Golden Globe and Academy Award. The post ‘From All Sides’ featuring special guest Bina Bhattacharya, plus ‘Blue Moon’ review appeared first on Out Takes.

In this episode of Crossing Thresholds, Maurice Bloem speaks with Binalakshmi Nepram, an Indigenous scholar, poet, and peacebuilder from Manipur in Northeast India. Bina's life and work sit at the intersection of climate disruption, armed conflict, and Indigenous spirituality — a place where survival is not abstract, but lived every day.   Bina reflects on growing up in a deeply land-connected Indigenous community under martial law, where rituals, food, and shared spiritual practices have long sustained resilience. She speaks powerfully about Indigenous knowledge as living science, about women who patrol the streets at night to protect their communities, and about the meaning of staying rooted to land even amid violence and climate stress. Throughout the conversation, Bina reminds us that resilience does not begin with institutions — it begins with people, memory, and care.   This episode weaves lived experience with insights from the Climate, Faith & Migration research, highlighting how Indigenous and faith-based knowledge systems are often the first to respond to crisis, yet remain overlooked by external actors. It is a conversation about peace, dignity, and the right to survive as a people — and an invitation to listen more closely to those who have been holding the line for generations.   Listener Engagement: Learn more about Bina via her LinkedIn, and her organization's website.

Bina Bhattacharya is a creative storyteller whose work I've been following for a while now. Her 2017 short film Wild Dances embraced music and cultural identity against the backdrop of Eurovision, while her section in the exemplary anthology film Here Out West, titled The Eternal Dance, is the story from that film that has left the deepest mark on me. Music plays a major role in Bina's filmmaking, and it's another prominent aspect of her feature length debut film From All Sides, with Georgia Anderson's Nina using music to support her passion for dance. This is just one slice of the narrative tapestry that Bina is working with in From All Sides, a drama which presents narratives we rarely see on Australian screens, let alone in global cinema. From the audacious opening which sees wife and husband, Anoushka (Monique Kalmar) and Pascal (Max Brown), engaging in a steamy bisexual foursome, to their domestic lives as parents to Nina and Clyde (Gavril Kumar), and then into the workplace where Anoushka navigates the politics of a support business owned by Toula (Rebekah Elmaloglou). While, on paper, it might seem like there's a lot going on within From All Sides, Bina writes the film like a slice of life. As you'll hear in the following interview, the lived-in perspective of From All Sides comes from Bina herself and her desire to see bisexual stories on screen alongside Australian stories told from a South Asian perspective. This interview was recorded ahead of From All Sides world premiere at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, and its subsequent screening at the Queer Screen Film Fest. Queer Screen had previously taken From All Sides to the Marche Du Film in Cannes earlier in 2025 for their Queer Screen Goes to Cannes selection. This is a wide ranging interview with Bina, where we talk about what it means to present stories from Western Sydney on screen, what her creative journey was like to get to this feature film stage, the importance of seeing bisexual lives on screen, and much, much more.

We recite in the morning a special Beracha thanking Hashem for enabling us to wake up refreshed and reinvigorated after a night's sleep – "Ha'ma'abir Hebleh Shena Me'enai U'tnufa Me'af'apai." We then proceed immediately to the "Vi'yhi Rason" prayer, which concludes, "Baruch Ata Hashem Ha'gomel Hasadim Tobim Le'amo Yisrael." The Beracha of "Ha'ma'abir Hebleh Shena" and the subsequent "Vi'yhi Rason" prayer are considered a single, lengthy blessing. Therefore, somebody who hears another person reciting the Beracha of "Ha'ma'abir Hebleh Shena" does not answer "Amen" when that person completes the words "Al Af'apai," because this blessing continues with "Vi'yhi Rason." One answers "Amen" only at the end, after hearing the recitation of "Ha'gomel Hasadim Tobim Le'amo Yisrael." There is a general rule requiring that when a lengthy Beracha is recited, the conclusion must resemble the beginning; meaning, the end of the Beracha must speak of the same theme with which the Beracha opened. At first glance, the lengthy Beracha of "Ha'ma'abir Hebleh Shena" violates this rule, as it begins by speaking of Hashem allowing us to wake up refreshed in the morning, and concludes with the more general statement that Hashem performs kindness for the Jewish People ("Ha'gomel Hasadim Tobim…"). Tosafot, cited by the Bet Yosef, explains that in truth, the beginning and conclusion of this Beracha are indeed the same, only that the Beracha begins with a specific kindness that Hashem performs, and concludes with a general statement about Hashem's kindness. We open this Beracha by mentioning Hashem's restoring our strength and alertness in the morning, and we end by thanking Him for always acting kindly toward us. Further insight into this Beracha may be gleaned from the Midrash Tehillim (25:2), which teaches that Hashem returns our souls to us in the morning in better condition than when we went to sleep. Normally, the Midrash states, when somebody lends an object, he receives it back in slightly worse condition; it experienced at least some degree of-wear and-tear in the borrower's possession. But after we entrust our souls to G-d at night, He cleanses them for us, and returns them to us pure and pristine. This is, indeed, a great act of kindness that we experience each and every morning, warranting the recitation of a special Beracha. The text of this Beracha that appears in the Talmud is written in the singular form ("Me'enai… Me'af'apai," etc.), and this is the text brought by the Rif, Rambam and Rosh. Accordingly, the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) and the Kaf Ha'haim (Rav Yaakob Haim Sofer, Baghdad-Israel, 1870-1939) ruled that this Beracha should be recited in the singular form. The Ben Ish Hai adds that in the Siddur of the Rashash (Rav Shalom Sharabi, 1720-1777), which was written based on deep Kabbalistic teachings, this Beracha appears in the singular form. By contrast, the Mishna Berura brings several Poskim (the Kenesset Ha'gedola, Magen Abraham and Mateh Yehuda) as stating that this blessing should be recited in the plural form. Hacham Ovadia Yosef, in Halichot Olam, refutes the proofs brought by the Ben Ish Hai, noting that we do not always follow the precise text of Berachot that appears in the Gemara. (For example, we recite the Beracha of "Ha'noten La'sechvi Bina," which appears in the Gemara in past tense – "Asher Natan La'sechvi Bina.") And as for the Siddur of the Rashash, there are different versions of this work, as according to tradition, the original manuscript was buried by the Rashash's son. Therefore, no proof can be brought from the Siddur of the Rashash. Accordingly, Hacham Ovadia ruled that those communities who have the custom to recite this Beracha in the plural form should follow their custom. This was, in the fact, the custom among the Jewish community of Damascus. This is also the practice among Ashkenazim. Most Sepharadim, however, recite this Beracha in the singular form, following the opinion of the Ben Ish Hai and Kaf Ha'haim.

The Beracha of "Matir Asurim," which we recite each morning, praises G-d for the ability He grants us to move our body. While we sleep, our body remains "trapped" in place, without moving. Although we might move a little during the night, these motions are involuntary. In the morning, we have the ability to voluntarily move our limbs, and it is for this gift that we recite the Beracha of "Matir Asurim," which literally means, "He who releases those who are bound." Upon waking in the morning, we are "freed" from our "shackles" and able to move our body. The next Beracha we recite is "Zokef Kefufim," praising Hashem for allowing us to stand upright. The term "Kefufim" means "those who are bent," and "Zokef" means "make upright." Hashem gives us the ability each morning to not only move our arms and legs, but also to get out of bed and stand up straight. A person who is sick and bedridden, unable to stand up, nevertheless recites the Beracha of "Zokef Kefufim." This is because common custom follows the view of Rav Natrunai Gaon (9 th century) that the morning blessings are recited to praise Hashem not for personally experiencing these phenomena, but rather for the phenomena themselves. Thus, for example, we recite the Beracha "Ha'noten La'sechvi Bina" – thanking Hashem for granting the rooster the wisdom to crow at daybreak – even though we do not hear the rooster's crow. These Berachot refer to "Minhago Shel Olam" – the features that G-d built into the natural order from which mankind in general derives benefit, and not to thank Him for the benefit that we personally experience. Therefore, even if someone is unable to get out of bed due to illness, he recites the Beracha of "Zokef Kefufim," thanking Hashem for granting people the ability to stand up straight. At first glance, it would follow from this line of reasoning that even somebody who is, G-d forbid, permanently paralyzed should recite this Beracha. In truth, however, this is not clear. Hacham Ovadia Yosef, in discussing the question of whether a blind person recites the Beracha of "Poke'ah Ivrim," which thanks Hashem for the gift of sight, raises the possibility that even according to our practice, a blind person might not recite this blessing. Perhaps, the Hacham writes, we recite "Ha'noten La'sechvi Bina" because although we do not actually hear the rooster's crow, we have the ability to do so. A blind person, however, is not able to see, and one could thus argue that he cannot recite the Beracha of "Poke'ah Ivrim," which speaks of a phenomenon which he is incapable of experiencing. Due to this uncertainty, Hacham Ovadia concludes that a blind person should not recite "Poke'ah Ivrim." Seemingly, this same rationale should apply to the question of a person with paralysis reciting the Beracha of "Zokef Kefufim." There is no record of Hacham Ovadia's ruling on this subject, and so it remains uncertain whether such an individual recites this Beracha. (Of course, we hope and pray that this question will always remain theoretical.) The Poskim address the question of whether these two Berachot – "Matir Asurim" and "Zokef Kefufim" – can be recited out of order. Meaning, if a person mistakenly recited "Zokef Kefufim" before having recited "Matir Asurim," may he then recite "Matir Asurim"? (These questions often arise when people recite the morning blessings mindlessly, by rote, without proper concentration, and without looking in a Siddur. Particularly in the morning, when people tend to be less focused and attentive, it is crucial to recite these Berachot patiently and from a Siddur to avoid mistakes.) Rav Amram Gaon (810-875) ruled that once a person recites "Zokef Kefufim," thanking Hashem for the ability to stand upright, it is too late to recite "Matir Asurim," which thanks Hashem for the ability to move one's limbs. The ability to move one's arms and legs is, quite obviously, included in the ability to get out of bed and stand up straight. Hence, when one recites "Zokef Kefufim," this Beracha covers also the ability referred to in the Beracha of "Matir Asurim," and it is therefore too late to recite "Matir Asurim." The Bah (Rav Yoel Sirkis, Poland, 1561-1640), however, disagreed, and maintained that these two Berachot may be recited out of order. In his view, then, one who mistakenly recited "Zokef Kefufim" before "Matir Asurim" still recites "Matir Asurim." The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) initially followed the position of Rav Amram Gaon, ruling that the Beracha of "Matir Asurim" cannot be recited after "Zokef Kefufim." However, in a later work – Od Yosef Hai – the Ben Ish Hai retracted this ruling, and concluded that one may, in fact, recite "Matir Asurim" after "Zokef Kefufim." He presents three reasons for this ruling. First, as mentioned earlier, we recite these Berachot to thank Hashem not for our personal benefit from the phenomena they mention, but rather for "Minhago Shel Olam" – for His making these phenomena part of the natural order, which help mankind generally. Therefore, the fact that one moves his arms and legs before getting out of bed has no bearing whatsoever on the required sequence of the Berachot that thank Hashem for these capabilities. Secondly, the Ben Ish Hai noted the teaching of the Arizal that these blessings encompass profound Kabbalistic concepts, beyond their straightforward, literal meaning, and these are relevant to all people, regardless of how and when they experience the phenomena mentioned in the text of the Berachot. Therefore, the Beracha of "Matir Asurim" retains its value and relevance even after one has recited "Zokef Kefufim." The Ben Ish Hai's third argument is the simple fact that the Sages instituted two separate blessings – one for the ability to move our limbs, and a second blessing for the ability to stand up straight. If the Beracha of "Matir Asurim" were subsumed under the Beracha of "Zokef Kefufim," then there would be no reason for the Rabbis to institute two separate blessings; it would have sufficed to simply recite "Zokef Kefufim," which includes both our ability to move our limbs and our ability to stand up straight. An analogy might be reciting "She'hakol" over the cheese before reciting "Ha'mosi" over the cheese sandwich. Since "Ha'mosi" covers the entire sandwich, there is clearly no reason to first recite a Beracha over the cheese by itself. Similarly, there would be no value in reciting "Matir Asurim" before "Zokef Kefufim" if the Beracha of "Zokef Kefufim" covers the ability to move one's limbs. Evidently, the Beracha of "Matir Asurim" must have significance that extends beyond that which is covered by "Zokef Kefufim," and so even if one first recited "Zokef Kefufim," he then recites "Matir Asurim." Hacham Ovadia Yosef, in Halichot Olam, refutes these three arguments advanced by the Ben Ish Hai. He makes the interesting observation that Rav Amram Gaon, who ruled that one cannot recite "Matir Asurim" after "Zokef Kefufim," was a disciple of Rav Natrunai Gaon – who, as mentioned, maintained that the morning blessings praise Hashem for these phenomena, and not for one's personally benefitting from them. This shows that Rav Amram's ruling does not hinge upon the issue of how one understands the nature and purpose of Birkot Ha'shahar, that even if they praise Hashem for "Minhago Shel Olam," the sequence of "Matir Asurim" and "Zokef Kefufim" must nevertheless be followed. As for the Ben Ish Hai's proof from the very fact that two separate Berachot were instituted, Hacham Ovadia counters that we cannot know the reasons why the Sages chose to institute the various blessings, and so this does not provide any proof. Given the uncertainty surrounding this issue, Hacham Ovadia writes, one who mistakenly recited "Zokef Kefufim" before "Matir Asurim" does not then recite "Matir Asurim," in light of the rule of "Safek Berachot Le'hakel" – we do not recite a Beracha when it is questionable whether it is required. A person in this situation should preferably find somebody who had yet to recite Birkot Ha'shahar and listen to his recitation of the Beracha of "Matir Asurim," so he can satisfy the view that he must still recite the Beracha, without running the risk of reciting a Beracha in vain. If this is not possible, then he should recite "Baruch Ata," think silently in his mind the words "Hashem Elokenu Melech Ha'olam," and then conclude "Matir Asurim." If a person recited "Baruch Ata Hashem Elokenu Melech Ha'olam" with the intention of concluding "Zokef Kefufim," and at that moment he realized he had not yet recited "Matir Asurim," he should conclude with "Zokef Kefufim" as he had intended. Although he will then be unable to recite the Beracha of "Matir Asurim," as discussed, nevertheless, this is preferable to concluding with "Matir Asurim" after having recited the first part of the Beracha with the intention of concluding "Zokef Kefufim." This is the ruling of Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Jerusalem, 1924-1998). He explains that according to the Rambam, the critical component of the recitation of a Beracha is the intention one has while reciting "Baruch Ata Hashem Elokenu Melech Ha'olam." In the Rambam's view, once a person recited these words with the intention of conclude "Zokef Kefufim," he will be credited with the recitation of this Beracha even if he then recites "Matir Asurim." It is therefore preferable to conclude, "Zokef Kefufim" even though he will then be unable to recite "Matir Asurim." Summary: A person who is ill and bedridden in the morning recites the Beracha of "Zokef Kefufim" even though this blessing speaks of the ability to stand up straight. It is uncertain whether this applies also to somebody who is paralyzed, Heaven forbid. If a person mistakenly recited "Zokef Kefufim" before reciting "Matir Asurim," he should not then recite "Matir Asurim." Preferably, he should find somebody who had yet to recite Birkot Ha'shahar and listen to his recitation of the Beracha of "Matir Asurim." If this is not possible, he should recite "Baruch Ata," think silently in his mind the words "Hashem Elokenu Melech Ha'olam," and then conclude "Matir Asurim." A person who recited "Baruch Ata Hashem Elokenu Melech Ha'olam" with the intention of reciting "Zokef Kefufim," and then realized he did not recite "Matir Asurim," should conclude "Zokef Kefufim," and should not switch to "Matir Asurim."

One of the blessings we recite each morning is "Poke'ah Ivrim," praising Hashem for "opening the eyes of the blind." The idea underlying this Beracha is that we must never take for granted the ability we have each morning to open our eyes and see. The eye is an especially fragile organ, and even the slightest disorder can cause it to malfunction and deny us the ability to see, Heaven forbid. Vision is a precious gift which we must appreciate anew each and every day, and so our Sages instituted the recitation of a special Beracha to thank Hashem for granting us the ability to see. Unfortunately, however, not everyone is able to see, and some people are blind. The Magen Abraham (Rav Abraham Gombiner, Poland, 1635-1682) ruled that since a blind person cannot see, he does not recite the Beracha, as he is unable to thank Hashem for "opening his eyes" and granting him the gift of vision. At first glance, this Halacha depends on a fundamental question regarding the nature of the Birkot Ha'shahar obligation. The Rambam maintained that one recites each of the Birkot Ha'shahar only upon benefitting from the phenomenon referred to in that Beracha. Meaning, upon hearing the rooster's crow, one recites, "Ha'noten La'sechvi Bina"; upon opening one's eyes, one recites, "Poke'ah Ivrim"; upon getting out of bed, one recites, "Matir Asurim," and so on. If one does not experience one of these phenomena, then, according to the Rambam, he does not recite the corresponding Beracha. The Magen Abraham's ruling appears to follow this perspective, that one who does benefit from the phenomenon mentioned by one of the morning blessings does not recite that blessing. Hence, a blind person does not recite "Poke'ah Ivrim." Others, however, disagreed, and understood that we recite these Berachot to praise Hashem not for the benefit we personally receive from these phenomena, but rather for the phenomena themselves, for the very fact that He made them part of the natural order. Additionally, the Arizal explained these Berachot as having deep mystical meanings, which are relevant to everyone, irrespective of whether or not one experiences the phenomena mentioned in these blessings. According to this perspective, it would seem that a blind person should, in fact, recite Birkot Ha'shahar. Indeed, the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) brings the Arizal's teaching and concludes on this basis that even a blind person recites the Beracha of "Poke'ah Ivrim." Moreover, the Peri Hadash (Rav Hizkiya Da Silva, 1659-1698) writes that a blind person should recite "Poke'ah Ivrim" because although he himself cannot see, he benefits from the vision of others. People are able to help him – bringing him where he needs to go, and bringing him what he needs – because of their gift of vision, and so he must praise Hashem for this gift. This line of reasoning led Rav Moshe Zakut, cited by the Hid"a (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806) in Shiyureh Beracha, to conclude that even the Rambam would require a blind person to recite "Poke'ah Ivrim" each morning, as he indeed directly benefits from the precious gift of vision. One may, however, question this assertion in light of the fact that the Rambam's son, Rabbenu Abraham ben Ha'Rambam (1186-1237), in one of his responsa, sharply criticizes a certain congregation that hired a blind Hazan, who recited aloud the morning blessings, including "Poke'ah Ivrim." Rabbenu Abraham presumably followed his father's rulings, and his objection thus indicates that in the Rambam's view, a blind person does not recite this Beracha. Another argument for allowing a blind person to recite "Poke'ah Ivrim" is advanced by the Shalmeh Sibur, who asserts that the blessing of "Poke'ah Ivrim" does not actually refer to the ability to see. After all, even while we sleep, we are able to see; our eyes are closed, but not dysfunctional. Therefore, it cannot be said that our vision is restored in the morning, warranting a Beracha over our regaining the ability to see. The Shalmeh Sibur thus explains this blessing differently, as referring to our ability to notice things, to live with an awareness of what's happening around us, a quality metaphorically described as the opening of our eyes. (Clearly, however, this is not the commonly accepted understanding of the blessing.) As for the final Halacha, we might have assumed that since we recite the morning blessings together, and not when we benefit from each phenomenon, we follow the view that these blessings praise Hashem for the phenomena in general, and for our personal benefit. Moreover, we recite the Beracha of "Ha'noten La'sechvi Bina" even though we do not hear the rooster's crow. Although the Shulhan Aruch accepts the aforementioned ruling of the Rambam, that one should recite each Beracha as he experiences the phenomenon it speaks of, the common custom is to recite them all even if, for whatever reason, we do not experience one of the blessings. Seemingly, then, it should follow that a blind person recites "Poke'ah Ivrim" even though he cannot see. However, Hacham Ovadia Yosef writes that the case of a blind person differs in that the individual is not capable of enjoying the gift of sight. It is possible that we recite even the blessings over phenomena which we do not personally experience only because we are potentially able to enjoy these features which Hashem built into the natural world. Hence, this does not prove that a blind person – who has no possibility of enjoying the gift of sight – recites "Poke'ah Ivrim." In light of the different opinions, Hacham Ovadia rules that it is preferable for a blind person not to recite this Beracha, following the general rule of "Safek Berachot Le'hakel" – that we do not recite a Beracha when it is uncertain if it is warranted. However, Hacham Ovadia writes, if a blind person recites the Beracha, he does not have to be told not to.
