Will you help us build our community of learners? Drop into our study hall, ask questions, help others with answers to their questions, share a d'var torah if you're so inclined, invite your friends, and join us in building this community together. Not an ask-the-rabbi service, just people at all levels learning together.

Some members of my family are required to take a "smell test" in order to attend school each day. Are they required to make a bracha בורא מיני בשמים like when usually smelling things, or is this considered a special case and they wouldn't have to[^1]? [^1]: It happens to be that they use Besamim (from havdalah), but I don't think it would make a difference.
