This really stretches the concept of "common" prayers and blessings, because
it is recited only once every 28 years! It was recited on April 8,1981, will
be recited on April 8, 2009 and April 8, 2037. However, according to the
RCA edition of the Artscroll Siddur, this same blessing is also recited upon
seeing or experiencing other significant natural phenomena, such as an
earthquake, a comet, lightning, or unusually large mountains or rivers.
For Birkat Hachamah, this blessing is recited on the morning of April 8,
upon seeing the sun for the first time after it has fully risen (the entire
circle is visible above the horizon). It is best recited with a group of
people, including men, women and children.
