Question:Should I recite shehechiyonu on the purchase of a new car? Answer:Yes, you should recite shehechiyonu since purchasing a car is a significant purchase (c.f. Shulchan Aruch Orach Chayim Siman 223 Se’if 3 and Se’if 6). However, this only applies if one intends to use the car solely by himself, however, if the car will be used by other people such as a spouse or other family members, the correct brocho to recite is hatov v’hameitiv (ibid Se’if 5). |
