Question
A person moved into a new apartment four months ago and did not recite the blessing 'Hatov Vehametiv', nor did they perform a house dedication. What should they do now?
Answer
It is not possible to recite the blessing 'Hatov Vehametiv' now, but a house dedication should be performed, and the 15 Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120–134), 'Yoshev Beseter', and 'Mizmor Shir Chanukat Habayit LeDavid' should be recited. This is for Ashkenazim, while Sephardim recite the text of the Chida.
