גברא/ חפצא

לזכות נשמת אבי מורי ר' צבי יהודה בן ר' משה זללה"ה

יום השנה ל' כסליו א' דר"ח טבת                   

Why when Toiveling two Keilim the Bracha is Tevilas Keilim, (plural) and when lighting two candles the Bracha is Ner Chanukah (single) ?

                          גברא/ חפצא

Mori V’rabi Harav Hagaon R. Shlomo Miller Shlita,

answered. The difference between a Brocho that

starts with Al Tevilas and a Bracha that starts with

Lehadlik . AL is on the Cheftza (object) Le is on the

Gavra (person)

A Bracha made on the Cheftza,(Al) we count the

Chafeitzim and if there are two or more we use

the plural term.

A Bracha made on the Gavra(Le) (who is one) we

always use the single term.
