431.0. "Help in finding a fifth" by USACSB::SCHORR () Mon Jan 25 1988 14:09

    OK you guys (neuter) here's one for you.  AT Havdala services this
    week a question came up that we couldn't answer.  Supposedly there
    are 5 brachot that are said only once per year.  We know of 4 and
    aren't completely sure that there is a fifth.  Can anyone tell me
    what they are?
    
    These brachot are non-situational for the most part (One carried
    to exteremes would be impossible to say but we are talking on the
    average here) and can be said by anyone no matter where they are.  
    So birth of a baby doesn't count and any specific brachot based 
    upon specific geography don't count either.

    Good luck.
