Should one recite the blessing 'ha-noten la-ya'ef ko'ach' (who gives strength to the weary)?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules against this blessing since it does not appear in the Talmud. The Rema records the universal Ashkenazic practice to recite it. The Taz and Aruch HaShulchan defend the Ashkenazic custom. The GRA accepts it based on the principle that custom overrides law.
