Question
A one-year-old child underwent surgery. Should the parents recite the Gomel blessing on his behalf?
Answer
It is not obligatory to recite the Gomel blessing, but if they wish, they can recite it without mentioning the Name and Kingdom. They should stand next to their son (even without a minyan) and say: "Blessed is He who bestows good upon the undeserving, who has bestowed every goodness upon you."
