# According to Ashkanazim, The bracha for seeing the Atlantic ocean is SheAssa Et HaYam HaGadol. According to Sephardim, this bracha is never made. <ref>Shulchan Aruch 228:1 writes that for all oceans one recite the bracha of [[Oseh Maaseh Beresheet]] except for the Mediterranean which you recite Oseh HaYam haGadol. However, Mishna Brurah 228:2 argues that really the bracha of Oseh HaYam HaGadol should only be made on the Atlantic ocean and all others (including the Mediterranean) only get the bracha of [[Oseh Maaseh Beresheet]]. [It's preferable, when making the bracha on the Mediterranean to say [[Oseh Maaseh Beresheet]] and then add the words Sh'Asah Et HaYam HaGadol within 2-3 seconds.(VeZot HaBracha pg 154)] For Ashkenazim, the halacha is in accordance with Mishna Brurah as most achronim hold like that opinion; | # According to Ashkanazim, The bracha for seeing the Atlantic ocean is SheAssa Et HaYam HaGadol.

For Sephardim Yalkut Yosef (Siman 228) writes not to recite the bracha of Oseh HaYam HaGadol on anything because of the dispute (I'm not sure if he would hold that a [[Oseh Maaseh Beresheet]] is still made for all oceans).</ref> | ||
