Question
Hello, should a person who sees an amputee or a lame person recite the blessing 'Baruch Dayan Ha'emet' with the mention of God's name and kingdom?
Answer
Hello
If they were born this way - the blessing 'Meshaneh HaBriyot' is recited
If they were born healthy and this happened later - the blessing 'Dayan Ha'emet' is recited.
According to Halacha, the blessing with the mention of God's name and kingdom is recited only the first time in one's life. Subsequently, if not seen for 30 days, the blessing is recited without the mention of God's name and kingdom.
