The Blessing of 'Who Performed a Miracle for Me in this Place'

Question

I have experienced a severe accident where I had little chance of survival, yet a open miracle occurred and I am now healthy and unscathed. The accident happened near my house, and I pass by there every day. When should I recite the blessing of 'Who performed a miracle for me in this place' ('Baruch She'asah Li Nes Bamakom Hazeh')?

Answer

Only if you do not see the place for a period of thirty days, you should recite the blessing again. However, as long as you see the place once every thirty days, even if this continues for many years, you do not recite the blessing.
