Question
What should be done regarding the Shalom Zachar for a woman who gave birth this week?
Answer
Hello,
If it is not possible, it is not done.
Some have the custom to bring after the evening prayer various types of spices with different blessings: 'trees', 'herbs', and 'varieties'. In this way, they enable the community to recite blessings and receive their blessing for the newborn.
