Blessings Rabbi vs. Cohenim →

June 12, 2018

Q: Which is preferable – going to Rabbis to receive blessings or going to Shul to receive Birkat Cohanim?

A: Birkat Cohanim, since it is not a blessing from Cohanim but a blessing from Hashem (And Ha-Rav Aharon Yehudah Leib Shteinman expressed surprise that people travel great distances to receive a blessing from a Rabbi instead of running to Shul to receive Birkat Cohanim. Be-Orchotecha Lamdeni p. 38).

Etz Ahaim invites the community to hear Brikat Cohanim twice every Shabbat morning.
