Se’if 1א׳

כְּשֶׁנֵּעוֹר מִשְּׁנָתוֹ, יֹאמַר אֱלֹהַי נְשָׁמָה. כְּשֶׁשּׁוֹמֵעַ קוֹל הַתַּרְנְגוֹל, יְבָרֵךְ הַנּוֹתֵן לַשֶּׂכְוִי בִּינָה. כְּשֶׁלּוֹבֵשׁ יְבָרֵךְ מַלְבִּישׁ עֲרֻמִּים. כְּשֶׁיַּנִּיחַ יָדָיו עַל עֵינָיו, יְבָרֵךְ פּוֹקֵחַ עִוְרִים. כְּשֶׁיֵּשֵׁב יְבָרֵךְ מַתִּיר אֲסוּרִים. כְּשֶׁזּוֹקֵף יְבָרֵךְ זוֹקֵף כְּפוּפִים. כְּשֶׁיַּנִּיחַ רַגְלָיו בָּאָרֶץ, יְבָרֵךְ רֹקַע הָאָרֶץ עַל הַמָּיִם. כְּשֶׁנּוֹעֵל מִנְעָלָיו, יְבָרֵךְ שֶׁעָשָׂה לִי כָּל צָרְכִּי. כְּשֶׁהוֹלֵךְ יְבָרֵךְ הַמֵּכִין מִצְעֲדֵי גָבֶר. כְּשֶׁחוֹגֵר חֲגוֹרוֹ, יְבָרֵךְ אוֹזֵר יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּגְבוּרָה: הַגָּה: אוֹ לוֹבֵשׁ הָאַבְנֵט הַמַּפְסִיק בֵּין לִבּוֹ לָעֶרְוָה. (בֵּית יוֹסֵף בְּשֵׁם הָרַאֲבָ"ד) כְּשֶׁמֵּשִׂים כּוֹבַע אוֹ מִצְנֶפֶת בְּרֹאשׁוֹ, יְבָרֵךְ עוֹטֵר יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּתִפְאָרָה. כְּשֶׁיִּטֹּל יָדָיו, יְבָרֵךְ עַל נְטִילַת יָדָיִם. כְּשֶׁיִּרְחַץ פָּנָיו, יְבָרֵךְ הַמַּעֲבִיר שֵׁנָה מֵעֵינַי וְכו' וִיהִי רָצוֹן וְכו' עַד בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' גּוֹמֵל חֲסָדִים טוֹבִים לְעַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל. וְאֵין לַעֲנוֹת אָמֵן אַחַר הַמַּעֲבִיר שֵׁנָה מֵעֵינַי, עַד שֶׁיַּחְתֹּם הַגּוֹמֵל חֲסָדִים טוֹבִים לְעַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל, שֶׁהַכֹּל בְּרָכָה אַחַת הִיא.

When a person wakes from his sleep, he says "E-lohay neshamah." When he hears the voice of a cock, one blesses "He who gives understanding." When he gets dressed, he blesses "Who clothes the naked." When he passes his hand in front of his eyes, he blesses "Who gives sight to the blind." When he sits, "Who frees the bound." When he stands, "Who straightens the bowed." When he puts his feet on the ground, he blesses "Who stretches the earth over the water." When he puts on his shoes, "Who provides me with all of my needs." When he goes out, he blesses "Who prepares the steps of man." When he puts on a belt, "Who girds Israel with strength." Rem"a: Or if he wears a sash that is sufficient to separate his heart and groin areas (Beit Yosef in the name of the Ravad) When he puts a hat or turban on his head, he blesses "Who crowns Israel with glory." When he washes his hands, he blesses "regarding the washing of hands." When he washes his face, he blesses "who removes the sleep from my eyes etc." and "may it be Your will etc." until "blessed are You Hashem who bestows loving-kindness on His people Israel." One does not answer 'Amen' after "who removes sleep from my eyes" until he has finished with "bestows loving-kindness on His people Israel," because it is all one single blessing.

Se’if 2ב׳

עַכְשָׁו מִפְּנֵי שֶׁאֵין הַיָּדַיִם נְקִיּוֹת, וְגַם מִפְּנֵי עַמֵּי הָאֲרָצוֹת שֶׁאֵינָם יוֹדְעִים אוֹתָם, נָהֲגוּ לְסַדְּרָם בְּבֵית הַכְּנֶסֶת, וְעוֹנִין אָמֵן אַחֲרֵיהֶם, וְיוֹצְאִים יְדֵי חוֹבָתָן.

Nowadays - because the hands are not [ritually] clean and because the ignorant do not know them [referring to the blessings above] - we have become accustomed to arrange them [the blessings] at the synagogue; we answer 'amen' after them and with that fulfill the obligation.

Se’if 3ג׳

חַיָּב אָדָם לְבָרֵךְ בְּכָל יוֹם מֵאָה בְּרָכוֹת לְפָחוֹת.

One must bless each day at least one hundred blessings

…and 4 more se'ifim in this siman.
