Description

Birkath Hamazon

(Collection "The Annotated Ritual")

“You shall eat and be satisfied, and you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you” (Deut. 8:10). It was in gratitude for the manna that Moses composed the first blessing of Birkat Hamazon. The Sfat Emith observes that the blessing for food originally concerned only manna, and not other foods. It was only when the Jews entered Eretz Yisrael that Joshua composed a new blessing, “Al Haaretz ve’al Hamazon,” “for the land and for food.”

This wonderful book will allow us to open new windows into the understanding of the blessings after meals, the only ones explicitly ordained by the Torah.
