General laws of Brachot HaMitzvah
- As a Brachat HaMitzvah it must be said Over LeAsiyatan, prior to the action of the mitzvah. [1]
- One may not make any interruptions between the Bracha and the actual Mitzvah. Nonetheless, an action that's necessary to do the Mitzvah isn't considered an interruption between the Bracha and Mitzvah. For example, after making the bracha on Chanukah candles it's not an interruption to get candles or a match because these are necessary elements for the Mitzvah. [2]
- When saying a Brachat HaMitzvah, preferably one should stand, however, after the fact if one said the bracha in any position one fulfilled one's obligation.[3]
Which mitzvot don't require a Bracha
