Date: 1 Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan 5593
From: Rabbi Moshe Sofer
To: Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch
The Chasam Sofer addresses why no berachah is recited on performing justice, appointing judges, or writing a Sefer Torah, engaging with the Yerushalmi, Rashba, and Pri Megadim. He explains that inherent uncertainty in human judgment precludes a berachah, reinterprets the Yerushalmi as describing a blanket berachah over multiple communal mitzvos, and offers a profound explanation of the eirusin blessing's formulation 'al ha-arayos.'
