Is the blessing Shehecheyanu recited when constructing a sukkah?
Synopsis
The blessing Shehecheyanu is not recited upon constructing a sukkah, as the act of construction itself does not complete the mitzvah. Instead, Shehecheyanu recited during Kiddush on the evening of Yom Tov covers both the festival and the sukkah mitzvah.
