Birchat Asher Yatzar: Difference between revisions

# In the morning, one who goes to the bathroom should make the bracha of [[Asher Yatzar]]. If one slept (more than 30 minutes) then, according to Ashkenazim, one should make the bracha of [[Asher Yatzar]] even if one did not go to the bathroom. <Ref> Rama 4:1 writes that one should make [[Asher Yatzar]] even if one did not go to the bathroom. Mishna Brurah 4:3 comments that this is only true if one slept at night. This is based on the pasuk: Emunatecha Rabba LeBekarim Chadashim, They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness (Eicha 3:23). </ref> One must have slept in one's bed for at least a half hour after halachic midnight. <ref> Igrot Moshe 1:4:1, Kesot HaShulchan, 5:2</Ref> </ref>  

# If one woke in the middle of the night and went to the bathroom, one should make [[Asher Yatzar]] then and another [[Asher Yatzar]] in the morning. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 4:3 writes that it is preferable to make [[Asher Yatzar]] after one goes to the bathroom and not to push it off until [[Davening]], because it is likely one will one go again and then not have made an [[Asher Yatzar]] for having gone the first time.
