re: shehechayanu

Answer

Answered by Chaim Yisrael Abadi

On the birth of a son, the father and mother make a B'racha - Hatov V'hameitiv. This is even if they didn't see the baby yet. On cars and other items that you are very happy about your purchase, you make Hatov V'hameitiv if two or more are going to have use from it. If only one person will use it, then you make Shehacheyanu. The B'racha is made as soon as it reaches your property or when it is usable for you, whichever comes first. CYA Than you for your time Just to follow up, I don't think you answered question #2 (which happened to be the one that was Nogaia)
