Question
When I am on my way to work or shopping and moving between buses and stores, do I need to recite the Shehakol blessing anew each time, or is it sufficient to say it once until I reach a fixed place (home or work)? I would appreciate clear guidelines on this matter. Thank you.
Answer
Hello,
Someone who began eating in a specific place, like at home, must recite the blessing again upon leaving.
However, someone who began eating while 'on the way' can continue to eat and drink even when moving from place to place.
For this, the blessing should be recited when the person is no longer settled at home but is stepping outside, or when they are already outside the home.
