A Sefer on New Seforim II Q. Does one make a Shecheyanu bracha when a new Sefer Torah is donated and introduced to the Shul?
A. See question above. On question 3736 we wrote: "Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that the Sefer Torah should not be donated but rather lend to the shul as is often done. Besides, the Rov added that in our days the Sefer Torah should undergo a computerized test to check if no letters are erased or missing."
Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that it may be proper to recite the blessing of Hatov Vehametiv in such a case, since many will benefit from it.
