So I managed to dash downstairs in time to say Bircat Hachamah at 9:43 precisely. Like a true Yekki. B'H', the sun was perfectly framed between the tree across the street, so saying the beracha wasn't a problem. I knew it would be anti-climatic, along the lines of "That's it???", but the symbolism is truly enthralling regardless.
FYI, Bircat Hachamah has hit the secular media. Now that's pretty cool, especially given that it *almost* portrays yiddin in a positive light. Feel free to pass along your Pesach/Bircat Hachamah stories...
GEULAH!
