Question

Is the blessing of Chacham Harazim recited at the assembly of a million?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

A participant in the assembly who is in a central location recites the blessing 'Chacham Harazim' only when he knows for certain that there are 600,000 people present. 

[And since there are many errors in estimating the number of participants at the assembly, one should not bless unless, according to reliable sources, there are clearly over 1,000,000 people, as then there are certainly six hundred thousand].
