Satmar Rebbe And Thousands Of his people (chasidim) have gathered Wednesday morning April 8, 2009 In Williamsburg.Brooklyn NY On Bedford Avenue By The B.Q.E. to take part in the rare Mitzvah of Birchas Hachama "Birchas Hachamah" the Blessing of the Sun occurs once in 28 years. One of the rarest and least-known practices in Judaism, the ceremony thanks G-d for the kindness He bestows upon His creations every day. It Also marks the moment, according to rabbinical scholars, when the sun returns to the spot in the sky it occupied during creation.
My husband and i were amazed by this-we have never heard of this or seen anything like it! (we are christians from the midwest) My husband said that this is the largest fellowship of men he has ever seen come together to pray and sing on a regular basis. G-d bless you all! We bless you from INdiana-year 5771.

Birchas Hachama is the blessing of the sun. The sun was at a certain point in the sky the day Hashem created the sun 5769 years ago, and every 28 years we celebrate this day because the sun is at its point when Hashem created it, its alot an astronomical thing as well.
