Prayer and Blessings

If one installs several mezuzot, does he say one blessing for all?

Question

After renovating my apartment, I want to install new mezuzot. Do I need to recite a blessing for each mezuzah or just before the first one? Thank you in advance

Answer

Greetings,

You only need to bless once before affixing the first mezuzah, intending to exempt all the mezuzot; and you should be careful not to interrupt between them with idle chatter or other matters.

Sources: Rema Yoreh De'ah (Siman 147, Se'if 1) and Bet Hillel there.

Blessings,

Hillel Meirs
